The tale of two emails...


Fucking emails...


All day, all night my inbox is constantly buzzing with emails.  With the exception of the nonsensical emails my friends send me, I don't know what I'd do without email.  I can't even begin to tell  you how many times emails have saved my ass by memorializing conversations that I've had were the other people involved had conveniently forgotten critical parts of our conversations that were to my benefit.  

Regardless, what a lot of people seem to somehow forget is that emails create a permanent record of conversations that can be referred back to when the contents of the conversation are in question.  This is particularly useful, or troublesome depending on the content of the email, if you're a public official in the state of Florida who is subject to the states wide ranging Sunshine Laws regarding public records.  Take for example this email that was sent from City of South Miami deputy city clerk Nikki Payne to City of South Miami Commissioner Valerie Newman...

Email From Nikki Payne to Valerie Newman

No big deal, this is simply an email from the deputy city clerk in response to a public information request from Commissioner Newman regarding the arrest of a man named Davidson Schmich (we'll discuss this case later).  In response to the public information request the clerk simply says...
Good afternoon,
Attached please find the information regarding your public records request.
Thanks,
Simple enough right?  Now look what happens to that very same email that city clerk sent to Newman at 4:23 September 21, 2012 when the commissioner forwarded it to her peeps...

Email From Nikki Payne to Valerie Newman Altered

NO SHIT?


Did you guys catch that?  Let's look at the contents of the original email again...


Now look at the altered version of this email that Commissioner Newman sent out to her cronies...


Where the hell did this part come from?


LOL!  We've busted City of South Miami Commissioner Valerie Newman tampering with then sending out a fraudulent email!


So why the hell would the Commissioner feel the need to commit fraud by sending out this obviously altered email?  Could she have had any other intention than to mislead the reader into thinking that the City Clerk had sent the email with the extra couple of paragraphs rather than that rather innocuous first email that was simply acknowledging a public records request?  This seems like nothing more than a simple case of FRAUD with a side dish of FORGERY!

We'll get into the back story and explore her possible reasons for this major ethical lapse tomorrow, in the mean time, we're going to forward Commissioner Newman's foray into the world of fraud to our friends over at the Miami Dade County Ethics Commission...

  1. People complaints about Chavez, Hitler,Osama Bin Ladeen, Fidel Castro and a lot more people with no feelings other than them.But here in USA we have more than that kind of people here making damages to inocent people that all they want its work to affort a plate of food,clothes and a house to live in with their family.This is so disgusting.Instead of going another countries to find the bad people we better star to clean our house.To much dirty people on the police, politics, and goverment.

  2. What else this O.M.C need to do in order to be out of the Police Department.I prefer to live in overtown better than South Miami until he is in charge of South Miami i am afraid that he can do something illegal to me and go straight to jail because of his corruption.
