A few months back, we met with members of the Miami Dade County Ethics Commission and we brought up this conflict of interest story between the City of South Miami and the Police Chief's wife's business and were assured by none other than the commissions executive director, Joe Centorino, that these were very serious allegations and that they were going to look into this alleged "conflict of interest" right away. I've tried to follow up several times and the only answer I've gotten to date is "we can't comment". Ok, the other day a couple of different members of the mainstream media contacted me and asked me what I knew about the investigation after which I asked them what they've been able to find out. It seems like no matter who they've asked, whether members of the Ethics Commission, City of South Miami commissioners, City of South Miami Mayor or even the Chief of Police, Orlando Martinez de Castro, across the board everyone has the same answer "No Comment"! WTF?
Thankfully, we have our own sources which tell us that Chief Martinez de Castro has been telling those around him that he had no idea that the city was doing business with his family owned tag agency...
You don't say? Anything is possible I guess. While no one want's to comment on what's going on at the Ethics Commission regarding this City of South Miami/Airways Auto Tag mess, there's one thing that we know for sure, where there's smoke there's fire and after watching the way the three tellers from the Airways Auto Tag Agency boondoggle were railroaded, something tells me there's a lot more going on in Chief Martinez de Castro's little fiefdom than meets the eye...
corruption this is all about it

ReplyDeleteThe domino effect is a chain reaction that occurs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics).This explain what is going to happen in the tellers case trying to mess with the poor teller the corrupted got caught.

The reason why no one will comment is that everyone is afraid of the Chief. He has powerful friends in the Cuban Mafia. He is BFF with a spook named Camilo Padreda. Google that name
ReplyDeleteAbout police corruption ,''These are not going to be the last cases,'' said Mr. Bertucelli. ''The money is there and the greed is there.''
ReplyDeleteMany years ago. He was soo true.

Comedy City of South Miami
Producer/Director Valerie Newman Hurley
Nicholas Angel, an extremely dedicated police officer
[whilst giving a presentation to a gathering of school children]
Nicholas Angel: Police work is as much about preventing crime as it is about fighting crime. Most importantly it is about procedural correctness in the exercising of unquestionable moral authority.
Any questions?

"Following their dismissal of the complaint (C 09-11) against South Miami City Commissioner Valerie Newman last month, Ethics Commissioners today issued a Letter of Instruction to the politician. The charges, which originated in 2009 and were based on South Miami’s now-repealed Code of Conduct, accused Newman of bullying people inside and outside of city government. Even though the COE determined that proceeding with the case would not be a prudent use of resources, the Letter states that “Rude, boorish and tyrannical behavior by elected officials, while perhaps not actionable under an ethics code, is inexcusable nevertheless.” The Ethics Commission also states that “ethical behavior
is not simply the doing what is right, but doing it the right way,” and hopes the Letter “impresses upon Commissioner Newman and all elected officials that they must be mindful that their behavior be at all times proper, honest, respectful, and professional...” - May 26, 2011 Miami Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust
City of South Miami Ethics FAIL!

Everytime that a crime occured you always hear people said "oh he/ she was so good" That's why dont get us by surprise Newman words. But we all know that the chief its guilty, he knew what was happening between his wife bussiness and his people.
