TOMMY THE COMMIE -- PART DOS

We told you last week how the Regalado Descarado music video is making its way throughout Miami.

A loyal reader with a watchful eye has pointed out that the very last scene in the video (shown in the screen capture posted above) does not show Mayor Regalado at all.

Instead it's a picture of Jose Prado, president of Tele Miami, hanging out with non other than Fidel Castro.

Tele Miami is the television station where Tomas Regalado hosted his mid afternoon news show for years while he served on the Miami City Commission.

The folks at Tele Miami love Tomassito so much, they forgot to take him off their website where they advertise Tom Ass still "delivers hard hitting news that affects our local community."

We all know that Tom Ass is an ardent Anti-Communist who made a living behind a radio microphone firing verbal bullets at Communists and denouncing Cuban artists who planned concert visits to Miami.

Together with his close pal Ninoska Perez-Castellon, they denounced Gloria Estefan for supporting these artists, while they worked together to get Ninoska's niece a job at the City Attorney's office.

Tom Ass is also the first one to make sure there are plenty of TV cameras around to capture him hugging freed Cuban political prisoners when they make it to Miami.

We are sure Tom Ass had NO IDEA that his boss and pal Jose Prado was hanging out with Fidel!

Much in the same way that Tom Ass had NO IDEA the Chinese Consul General is a Communist when he "expressed his gratitude" while he partied with her at City Hall.

In fact, we are sure that Tom Ass has ridden his NO IDEA stupor straight into the mayor's office where he and the Phantom Mayor can steer contracts to their friends.

Truth is, Tom Ass is a lying two faced Commie hypocrite who is selling off our city to the highest bidders, and those who generously donate to his and his daughter's political campaigns.

Too bad all those little Cuban old ladies that absentee voted for him don't know the real truth.

TOMASS, YOU IGNORANT SLUT!

Hot on the heels of our report on Katherine Fernandez-Rundle's refusal to prosecute corruption at Miami City Hall, check out the Crespo Gram and Investigation Miami for more news on Ms. Fernandez-Rundle and the City Commission's plan to name a street after her.

Lawton Chiles used to say "even a blind pig finds an acorn every once in a while," and Chuckie Rabin finally found an acorn!

In his story, we learn that "All it will take is a Miami commission vote Thursday for State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle to be able to peek out her office window and see a street named in her honor.

But there is a mystery, NO ONE KNOWS how the item was placed on the City Commission agenda!

"No one is owning up to placing the designation item on the agenda. There is no sponsor on the legislation. The city manager and the mayor said they didn’t add it to the agenda. Commission Chair Wifredo “Willy” Gort said he doesn’t know where it came from. And Public Works Director Nzeribe Ihekweba said the item may have simply been in a stack of legislation that piled up for years.

“I think the state or the state attorney’s office reached out to the city manager a few weeks ago,” offered Mayor Tomas Regalado.

"Okay, except the state attorney’s office said it wasn’t them. Ditto at FDOT. Even former City Manager Pete Hernandez weighed in, saying he has no recollection of the item ever reaching his office."

Once again in his own inimitable way, Mayor Tomas Regalado comes across as the IGNORANT SLUT he really is.

If NO ONE at the City knows how an item "magically" appears on the City Commission agenda...

Can we really trust them to manage the City's finances?

WHY WON'T SHE GO AFTER THE REAL CORRUPTION???

*** *** *** *** *** UPDATE *** *** *** *** *** 

Tamarac Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco was arrested and "charged with unlawful compensation, bribery, official misconduct and conspiracy to commit unlawful compensation. She had been under investigation by the Broward State Attorney’s Office for allowing developers Bruce and Shawn Chait to contribute $21,000 through a political action committee to support her 2006 campaign in exchange for favorable votes involving the development company..."

Let's see:

1. Billboard companies give money to the Mayor's campaign, and his daughter's campaign for School Board, the attorney for a billboard promoter writes a new billboard law inside the Mayor's office, the City Commissioners approve illegal billboards, and go as far as to sell space on the City of Miami Police Department building to a billboard company.

2. Gambling machine interests give money to the Mayor's campaign and that of his daughter's campaign for School Board, the Mayor passes a law making illegal machines legal, tries to prevent the Chief of Police from confiscating gambling machines.

3. Phantom Mayor Armando Gutierrez (who also ran Regalado and Raquelita's campaign) gets a sweetheart land deal for his client Rusty Pelican after they donate to the Mayor and Raquelita's campaign.

Bottom line...

The Broward State Attorney's Office IS DOING IT'S JOB.

Why can't Kathy Fernandez Rundle do hers???

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

Katherine Fernandez Rundle makes very little sense.  Here she is going after Michelle Spence Jones on weak evidence while the rest of Miami continues to swim along in a sea of corruption.

The headlines tell the story:

"Armando Codina is 'Disappointed' with Prosecutor Richard Scruggs"

And when Codina took the stand he "then lashed out at Scruggs, saying the prosecutor purposely mislead him during an interview into thinking the Lyric Theater event never happened; Codina said he remembered later that two of his associates attended the event. (Scruggs responded, during later questioning, that Codina misunderstood him.)"

This is the same prosecutor Scruggs who in December of last year "withheld key information from attorneys on both sides of the [Gaston] Smith case as well as from a New Times reporter. It was all part of an effort to convict Smith for allegedly stealing more than $10,000 in county grant money."

Meanwhile, as we read in Investigation Miami, the Phantom Mayor Armando Gutierrez and the Wannabe Steve "Wait Until Francis is Mayor" Marin, have cooked a very "fishy" deal for their friends and clients at the Rusty Pelican and Rickenbacker Marina.

"The only way to determine if the city is getting fair value from the lease is through an independent appraisal.   The Rusty Pelican submission to the commission includes NO APPRAISAL!

"This "deal" has been worked on for nearly 10 years.   And good sources tell us that the reason it has taken so long to get done is that the Diaz administration refused to give away the property under the terms that then Commissioner Regalado was pushing for his friends at the Rusty Pelican

"Those friends of Regalado have given him thousands of dollars of campaign contributions over the years - and we won't get into all the free meals and events.

"In the end, Sarnoff and Regalado take care of their campaign contributors.   The favorite lobbyists and campaign managers walk away is thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of fees and favors.

"And the taxpayer gets screwed every time.  Its all about big fat lies, big fat lobbyists and big fat sweetheart leases.

"The charter violations are clear.  These people should be charged!"

Problem is, they won't.

They won't be charged because Katherine Fernandez Rundle is more interested in convicting Michelle Spence Jones with flimsy evidence that she is about rooting out the true source of corruption at the City of Miami.

With Regalado as mayor, it's open season for Tomas Regalado and the Phantom Mayor.

Rusty Pelican will get anything they want.

When Tony Crapp decided that there should be a new "marina" on Virginia Key, guess whose idea that was?

And whose idea was it to sell the side of the police headquarters to a billboard company for $80,000? 

Mayor Tomas Regalado's corruption knows no bounds.

And the State Attorney is doing nothing to stop it.

RELAX, LARRY HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL!

Go check out Investigation Miami and The Straw Buyer if you want to sleep better at night knowing who is looking out for the finances at City Hall.

Just remember that the City's finances were "squared away" based on the PROJECTED revenue from Red Light Cameras purchased from the Phantom Mayor and the takeover of the Miami Parking Authority. 

So how did that work out for ya?

PHANTOM MAYOR IS GATEKEEPER TO CITY HALL

Sources tell TBM that a meeting with the Mayor can only be brokered through the Phantom Mayor Armando Gutierrez.

For a fee, the Phantom Mayor will arrange a meeting with mayor Regalado.

$10,000 for a meeting.

$25,000 for placing an item on the City Commission.

$50,000 if it passes.

City Hall is for sale, to the highest bidder.

More billboards anyone???

TOMASS, WILL THE "LITTLE PEOPLE" BE LAID OFF?

Miami Today reports that "Miami plugged a massive budget hole last fiscal year without layoffs, but midway through this year pink slips might be inevitable."

The Shameless Mayor tell them:

"We come to the same situation in two weeks.  By the third week, we're going to have to start reducing costs in salaries. So people will have to be laid off."

But who does the shameless Mayor plan to layoff?

We remember when then Commissioner Regalado told the Biscayne Times:

"My fear is that, come budget process, the little people will be the ones affected and the big salaries will not be touched. To me that is not only wrong but also immoral."

Will the Mayor go after people like Crapp, Spring, Bru, the fire and police unions that make the big six figure salaries?

Hell no!

Regalado only cared about the "little people" when he spent his every waking hour attacking the previous administration. 

The Herald Mayor's Press Office and its reporter Press Secretary Chuck Rabin are put on notice.  

If Regalado and his administration go through with layoffs, it will be of the same "little people" that Regalado's demagoguery bullshit talked about when he was Commissioner.  

Regalado must be held accountable or perhaps his morals have changed now that he is mayor.

$659,724.33 AND COUNTING, WHO IS THE MONEY GOING TO?

Office of the City Attorney:

"To provide the full range of legal services and representation to the City Commission, and the Administration in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner." 

"The office employs approximately 58 professionals including two Deputy City Attorneys and 21 Assistant City Attorneys, who provide legal advice and serve as counsel to the City’s elected public officials as well as all appointed officials, and all boards and departments. Lawyers in the Office of the City Attorney are recognized for their excellence in the area of local government law and are experienced and skilled in many practice areas, including civil rights and tort litigation, government contracting and procurement, land use, labor and employment, public records, sunshine law and ethics." 

These 58 "professionals" despite being "recognized for their excellence" and that are "experienced and skilled in many practice areas" CANNOT defend Mayor Regalado, Tony Crapp, Larry Spring, Diana Fernandez, and others from an SEC investigation.

Ms. Bru "so far, has spent $659,724.33 on outside counsel hired to represent the city."

Did the Mayor's Press Secretary ask what firms this money is going to?  

Did any of these firms contribute to Regalado's mayoral campaign?

What about the campaign of Regalado's daughter, Raquelita, did the firms contribute to her also?

And exactly whom is the Shameless Mayor speaking with at the SEC to make a claim that "the city will likely agree to some type of fine without an admission of guilt."

Chuck:

The people of Miami are TIRED of your lazy ass bullshit reporting, especially when you take every single word that comes out of the Shameless Mayor Regalado at face value.

People's hard earned tax dollars are being wasted every single day by Tomas Regalado, his Phantom Mayor Armando Gutierrez, and the completely moronic and inept Tony Crapp.

Now we add you Chuck to the list.

Your constant attitude of "looking the other way" and providing excuses for Regalado and his band of cronies make you an accomplice.

The people are NOT STUPID Chuck, irrespective of what the opinion is at One Herald Plaza.

You and the Herald are now fully complicit with the corruption going on at City Hall.
