Remember, it took the city 30+ days to reinstate the illegally fired 16 firefighters and that ruling said "immediately". I wonder if they have even been paid the money they are owed for that time they were fired...illegally. This city will do nothing proper before the election...only other illegal acts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-10016035490617569482011-10-09T07:20:08.720-07:002011-10-09T07:20:08.720-07:00Carlos Hernandez will never open the books, all he...Carlos Hernandez will never open the books, all he did until November was slowing down his political suicide. Lets all be honest everyone should know right now that Carlos is being told what to do by Robaina, when he speaks it sounds just as scripted as when Rudy speaks in the debates. No matter what the budget still shows 105 firefighters without jobs, so whomever gets in (preferably Raul) a new budget will have to be made with real numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-52632121020622378312011-10-08T22:03:33.164-07:002011-10-08T22:03:33.164-07:00Nothing, I think. The memorandum of understanding ...Nothing, I think. The memorandum of understanding that binds this agreement has, under number seven, that "the city agrees to expeditiously provide all financial data requested by the union not otherwise shielded by law from public disclosure." There is no definition of expeditiously. There is no explanation of what financial data could possibly be excluded from public disclosure.<br /><br />And, you are right, there is no hurry for the alcaldito. For negotiations, either. Because, under number eight, "the city and the union agree to expeditiously resume bargaining in good faith in order to reach a mutually acceptable collective bargaining agreement." And the mayor said in the Miami Herald article that he was going to sit down with the union on Friday to start dealing with a long term solution. Friday came and went with no follow up. There was no appointment. The alcaldito never called.<br /><br />Let's see what happens Monday, but Ladra is willing to bet a cortadito that there won't be any negotiations during the campaign.Ladra, the public watch doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250480042439409718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-35145207348792096762011-10-08T21:44:53.042-07:002011-10-08T21:44:53.042-07:00What are the odds Hernandez actually opens the boo...What are the odds Hernandez actually opens the books for the firefighters to see?

Just watch. Thank you for adding authority and credibility to the issue. <br /><br />And I don't know who Lastra is, but Ladra is happy there are, actually, two ABC candidates and finds that it would make for the ideal and likely runoff, too. I'm quite sure either one would rather face Hernandez, who would be way out in the second round. So? I don't care. As far as Ladra is concerned, there are, indeed, two candidates. ONLY two candidates. And Hernandez is not one of them. Any more confusion?Ladra, the public watch doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250480042439409718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-79843517774947473362011-10-08T18:23:08.954-07:002011-10-08T18:23:08.954-07:00Don't blame the Indians when the Chief is corr...Don't blame the Indians when the Chief is corrupt. Overton knows his day are numbered in Hialeah if ABC wins the mayoral race. He has already applied for positions with other departments. This surveillance of Martinez certainly was not one of the more egregious acts of a police chief without the cojones to stand up to a corrupt administration. One could argue that this surveillance was within the purview of the Internal Affairs Dept., assuring that there were no violations of City policy for solicitation in city-owned residential properties. Kudos to Detective Hilda Reyes for professionally reporting what she observed.<br /> Overton thumps a good bible; but his behavior is anything but Christian. Chief Overton, take your in house Prayer meetings and your theological references in every one of your communications, take them with you wherever you go, and please return the Honor that you have removed from the Office of the Police Chief of the City of Hialeah. Promoting unqualified friends of the two Mayors and ignoring crimes of the Mayors' friends and relatives, this makes you an accessory, a witness, and I don't mean a witness to the power of the Lord. When the books are opened, and the maquinitas are closed, may your name be listed among the defendants.

Remember it all started with dirt: http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/12/13/1972165/uncovering-the-dirt-transfer-faces.html<br /><br />Whistleblower tells IA there was something fishy with the transfer of dirt. Chief Overton unsubstantiates the complaint although the evidence was overwhelming. Somehow the whistleblower gets transfered/ punished for it as well.<br /><br />Then there is union rep and firefighter Bob Alvarez. Lots of due process and timeliness issues in that investigation.<br /><br />And finally right in his police department two PBA reps were convieniently relieved of duty for months(4 1/2 months for one and 7 1/2 MONTHS FOR ME) while the city is preparing to impose a contract on the department.http://www.elnuevoherald.com/2011/07/29/992830/policia-degradado-dice-ser-victima.html<br /><br />And in all these investigations the office of the chief is the complainant.<br /><br />You guys make the call!Antonio Luisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-50721830705985376012011-10-08T12:32:26.978-07:002011-10-08T12:32:26.978-07:00so the mayor, council and police chief are spendin...so the mayor, council and police chief are spending taxpayer money to investigate and follow political candidates and those that question the methods of their governance.

Seems to me there are sectors, hopefully small, hopefully minute, of Hialeah's police that are following that formula. Scary thought. What I would like to see is an official investigation. And I know for a fact there are a lot of decent, dedicated police officers that will fully cooperate. This may reach national attention, it's like Chicago politics moved South.
