Instead Rabin attacks Chief Exposito, devoting the first four paragraphs of his article to reporting and continuing the childish bickering between the mayor and police chief.
Only after he sets up the conflict between mayor and chief, conveniently failing to mention that it was the mayor who hired the chief in the first place, does Chuckie say that Retardado "focused on public/private partnerships, keeping the city clean, art in public places and helping the poor."
Miami is going bankrupt.
The CFO Larry Spring has his properties foreclosed on.
The budget is based on non existent revenues from red light cameras and the failed takeover of the parking authority.
Billboards going up everywhere, with lobbyists and special interests controlling City Hall.
All anyone has to do is read this blog, The Crespo Gram Report, Investigation Miami, the Straw Buyer, to know THE CITY IS ALL FUCKED UP!!!
And Chuck Rabin reports on the bickering between the mayor and chief???
What vision did Mayor Regalado lay as to how he intends to lead the city forward as he hacked and coughed his way though his so called speech?
No vision at all.
Where are the opposing and critical views the Herald used to include when Mayor Manny Diaz gave state of the city speeches?
Nowhere.
But Chuck did make sure to take one final swipe at Chief Exposito.
Chuck...
If you are going to be a sycophant, at least pick someone with class.
Unfortunately for the citizens of Miami, you got your head up the Tom Ass!

The Miami Herald is a useless rag. The only decent writer is Matt Hagman
If Matt Hagmann were covering the city of Miami, Regalado and Sarnoff would be scared shitless. Which makes you wonder why it is the Herald won't put Hagmann on the city beat...
Regalado is a disgrace and unworthy of being mayor, and the Herald is 100% complicit in his shit.
In his speech Mayor Regalado stated his goal to continue to provide high salaries and obscene benefits to City employees by increasing Code Enforcement fines to residents and business owners. Nice.
Regalado seemed impressed with Larry Spring for being able to steal from a bank. Regalado considers that skill valuable to be Miami's CFO. No plans to fire Larry, yet.
After he spent years crying like a little bitch about how Larry and the administration kept him the dark as a commissioner, now Tom Ass praises the man who lost his house and has bankrupt the city. TOMASSHOLE!!!
To 22:02
Larry Spring did not exactly "lose his house", Larry took out a new bigger mortgage and then he refused to make the payments. Larry stole from a bank. Larry always had the cash to pay a mortgage he just refused. Classic mortgage fraud.
Did Larry sign the application claiming the house would be his residence? More mortgage fraud?
Chuckie Rabin,
What does it take to slant a history? Coke, Crack, Marijuana, a couple of prostitutes, or alcohol?
Does the Miami Herald conduct Alochol/Drug Test on reporters? I think Anon @ 8:31 is on to something.
Did anybody understand Mayor Corruptalado's State of the City Address? The only thing that came across was AAAAA-EEEEEEEE-UUUUUMMMMMM, Cough-Cough, AAAAA-EEEEEEEE-UUUUUMMMMMM, Cough-Cough, AAAAA-EEEEEEEE-UUUUUMMMMMM, Cough-Cough, AAAAA-EEEEEEEE-UUUUUMMMMMM, Cough-Cough.
But according to Chuckie Rabin and the Miami Herald, the Mayor's Press Office, the speech was brilliant!
Give me a break!
All I heard was Regalado state the City would increase fines and fees to taxpayers so the City could continue paying salary and benefits to 4,200 over paid public sector employees.
Rabinlado did not hear the speech, he was told what to write.
It's time for all the readers of this blog to send emails to the Herald. We complain about Rabin's coverage - or lack thereof - but I doubt the editors hear about it.
Please send a bunch of emails to bring it to their attention. The Herald ombudsman writes reasonable, analytical pieces critiqueing the Herald. Maybe he will listen. If we all gang up on emails, they may focus on the fact that at the time the city needs the Herald most - they are renigging on their responsibility to report.
Send your emails to:
ombudsman@MiamiHerald.com
And sign your names to it. That will make them understand that we are not just a bunch of crazy anonymous blog posters. But rather concerned tax paying citizens.
Fill up their inboxes please!!!
How about people STOP buying the Herald and boycotting businesses that advertise there.
So you are going to hurt the businesses that are fighting to stay alive in these tough times?
It's surely not their fault.
The Herald is all we got right now - why not voice your concerns to the. That would be a proactive thing to do, instead of just bitching.
because the herald does not care about the truth
The Herald just wants to pollute our visual environment with more billboards. Anything to make a buck.
Billboards? What billboards?
The Herald has at least one illegal mural ad on the side of it's own building. Why don't Tomas Regalado's Code Enforcement Inspectors give them a fine?
You mean the Herald is engaged in illegal activities and the City does nothing about it? How funny that Regalado is involved in illegal activities and the Herald says nothing about it.
REGALADO you spoke on the national spotilight well Forbes ranked Miami one of the worse cities in America!! are you going to blaim Exposito for that too???
You and your administration have sent this city to an all time low!!!
It's all Manny Diaz fault
City is facing another $25 mil
Deficit. Maybe worse. Regalado keeps scammer and accused mortgage Fraudster Larry Spring on the payroll?
Why?
Anon 10:31...l doubt he created this mess in less than a year. The financial problem we are facing today is from all the cost overruns and all the funny business that the previous Administration did. Remember when Manny Diaz forgave Al Lorenzo's million dollar debt to the City? How about the other friends that got rich on our backs?
Regalado knew about all the problems. Instead of fixing the problems Regalado has added to the problems.
What has Regalado done to fix the problems?
Look at all the idiots that Regalado hired. Look at the idiots Regalado promoted?
Anon 15:24, I remember the Al Lorenzo stories, just not in the way you tell them, but only because the Herald would write about them. Where are the stories about Tomasito and Armando Gutierrez, including the parties at Rusty Pelican and the sweetheart deal for waterfront property???
Manny Diaz's friend and campaign manager Al Lorenzo borrowed $1.2 mil from the City. He stopped making payments. Then Manny Diaz released buddy Al from the debt.
No, Mr. Lorenzo paid off the debt. You can read about it in the Herald.
Meanwhile, Mayor Regalado and Armando Gutierrez gave away waterfront property to Rusty Pelican, but you won't read about it in the Herald.
The Herald reported that Al Lorenzo never paid back the money he borrowed for several apartment budding.
Guys, get real. A mayor cannot forgive a city debt - not within his power. He didn't even have a vote. Now, the commissioners - that's a different story.
Mayor Regalado has been in power for almost 2 years and yet the City's finances is an absolute mess. He knew this going in and yet has done nothing. It is time for him to stop using Preseident Obama's strategy by blaming the prior administration and start owning up for his blunders and utter failures.
Its starts with not having any vision, no plan, no strategy, no leadership, and not a single competent individual in the City's Administration.
Tomas Regalado surrounds himself with low IQ no experience sycophants. Tomas is too scared to get intelligent honest staffers.
The City faces massive deficits. The big question is why THAT MORON Larry Spring is still employed.
Are you kidding Anon 13:06??
Pat Santangelo, Angel Zayon, Pepe Fulgueira, Jose Marrero, AND Ada Rojas have at least 10 IQ points combined!
Proves my point.
Mortgage Fraud Larry still scamming?
