Going for a revenge recall on Mayor Alvarez for raising taxes.
Tomasito raised fees.
Then lied about raising taxes.
Norman called the Mega Plan "outrageous" "shameful and an embarrassment."
Read today's Crespo Gram Report.
Then tell us if what is going on at the C.R.A. is not "outrageous" "shameful and an embarrassment."
Where is all the rhetoric about using C.R.A. dollars to fight "slum and blight"?
And why are you doing nothing to stop it?
We've never liked Mayor Carlos Alvarez.
But we hate hypocrites like you two even more.

Mayor Tomas Regalado raised taxes, fees and fines. What few taxpayers remain in Miami will pay more taxes.
Some fees and fines went up 125%.
It is all about seperating taxpayers from their hard earned money to give it to $100,000+ per year public sector employees. Anyone in the private sector get a $800 per month vehicle allowance?
CRA employees got 80% to 200% RAISES using your tax dollars.
Regalado allows CFO Larry Spring to submit unbalanced budgets AND collect $255,000 pay package. Why?
A fee and a tax are not the same thing. The budget we approved did not have any tax increase.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE SAYS......
I just read the Crespo Gram Report on Pieter Bockweg's double dipping by receiving two salaries from both the CRA and the City, along with the SUNSHINE VIOLATION involving the Commssioner Dumbity Dumbity Dumb Dunn and Commissioner Liaroff.
PLEASE NOTICE THAT ONCE AGAIN MY BOSS, DIANA GOMEZ, ALONG WITH HER SUGAR DADDY LARRY SPRING IS INVOLVED. PAYROLL IS IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND WE REPORT TO THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, LARRY SPRING. CERTAIN FINANACE EMPLOYEES HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH DIANA'S, LARRY SPRING AND PETER CHIRCUT'S UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THEY WERE ALL INVOLVED WITH THE ILLEGAL TRANSFERS AND THEY CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THEY WALK ON WATER.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! DIANA HIRES AND THEN PROMOTES HER BABY SITTER, MELANIA, WHO CAN'T WRITE OR SPEAK ENGLISH. SHE THEN GETS TOGETHER WITH PETE CHIRCUT AND HIRES HIS SON, TRIVENI CHIRCUT WHO IS NOW PART OF THE PAYROLL TEAM. HOW IS THIS NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, CRONYISM AND NEPOTISM. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT ARE DISCUSSING REPORTING THIS TO THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. I'M LEADING THE CHARGE!
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WILL ALSO BE CONTACTED.!
Hey people....don't discuss reporting, just do it! Stop with the threats and DO IT! You can't continue to let Al Crespo do all your work. You can do this anonymously.
This is sending a strong message to city employees that corruption will not be tolerated.
...but it IS being tolerated from the State level down!
Isn't today Larry's last day?
There's a lot of "chatter" on the airwaves regarding the possibility of something big coming down the pike for a couple of our elected officials at city hall.
I've been told by a reliable source that some people are about to do a "perp walk", and it ain't gunna be pretty.
OOPS, I think that District 2 Commissioner Marc David Sarnoff needs to change his D&G underwear,
it appears they've been soiled.
Something's gotta give, Sarnoff and Regalado have been acting very recklessly for the past year and it's time to pay!
Why did Regalado and Sarnoff fast track and approve 50 story LED billboards avoiding the proper public hearing process?
Why is Regalado letting "friendly to him" billboard companies build illegal billboards?
I love this site, but there are some naive people in this city. Braman's dog in the stadium/ tunnel fight was that Diaz was redrawing CRA boundries to include the stadium/tunnel areas. Braman, also a multi-millionaire, has his grubby hands in the public till through CRA grants and loans. More pigs feeding at the public trough means less for each individual pig. The unholy alliance between him and Tomas was a political move for Tomas to separate himself from Diaz/Sanchez. Carlos Alvarez was just a target of opportunity. Make no mistake, Tomasito calls Samson, Marlins President, for owner's suite tickets for him and his family. That is why the Garage contract is a "contract" and union contracts are "agreements". These guys are all grave robbers.
Everyone in this city deserves each other. The overpaid cops & firemen deserve what's coming to them. How is it justified that between 75%-90% (depending on who you talk to) of every tax dollar paid to the City of Miami goes to salaries & pensions. How can any city function with those numbers, let alone this city with it's checkered past/present/future. The fact is that they cant.
The politicians like Sarnoff & Dunn will also get what's coming to them in due time. These are tough times and everyone needs to bite the same bullet us taxpayers of the City of Miami have been biting for many years.
Man Up!
It has been stated that 85% of all the revenues coming into the City of Miami goes to pay and benefits for the 4,000 employees. That is why the City is facing bankruptcy.
No city or business can survive when such a large percentage of revenues goes to employees.
No city or business can survive when there are too many employees.
Regalado and the commissioners are not businessmen and clearly they do not understand real life. How can they justify raising taxes when businesses are struggling?
Politicians just want to get re-elected. These politicians will soon realize that Carlos Migoya and Larry Spring got them to pass another budget that will not be balanced. Bankruptcy awaits.
the state needs to take over

Please correct: It is not "No city or business can survive when there are too many employees."
It should be: No city or business can survive when there are too many OVERPAID employees.
Good editing.
Too many overpaid employees will bankrupt any city.
Does Regalado know the City is still failing?
