However,because she was black and the fire chief is black guess what happened, she was suspended with pay. She was right about one thing, she really is pretty stupid when you come right down to it. I wonder how she got into the fire department in the first place, but remember she was working for the city of miami the same government that they dont even require that all employees speak english, and if you lucky enough to be cuban american and know the right people in the city you can have a job that you never have to leave home and still get paid like you were working 40 hours a week. She is a crook who got caught but what about the other crooks in and out of the city of miami who continue to destroy everthing that is good in this city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-34716687771323397112011-12-17T18:47:21.745-05:002011-12-17T18:47:21.745-05:00She should be stripped of her pension and ALL her ...She should be stripped of her pension and ALL her other benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-87529345919128358852011-12-17T14:47:25.040-05:002011-12-17T14:47:25.040-05:00Anonymous 4:23.

Says regardless of how she achieved her goals she got there .How she achieved her goals is exactly the issue.Your moral compass needs an adjustment .You call anyone with the temerity to question her "accomplishments " pathetic .Are you serious ? you then go on to say that she should have taken some classes on the real estate game! The woman is a licensed mortgage broker so she knows the law .Then you say she didn't steal enough to jeopardize her integrity .The cases she was tried for we're not her only crimes .She was involved in many schemes .And the woman has no integrity her career has been a complete fraud . I actually knw her and have seen what she is capable of doing to get what she wants .and it's not pretty .You need to inform yourself before going off half cocked and accusing others of not being independent thinkers You might want to take your own advice and actually inform yourself before talking out of your ass.Erifnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-35544817607820942452011-12-17T04:45:33.676-05:002011-12-17T04:45:33.676-05:00Word on the street is she shoulda never passed the...Word on the street is she shoulda never passed the city's fire academy but somehow (???) managed to pass! Makes sense she never really worked in the field (to much of a liability) and yet, she gets multiple promotions! So basically because she was the city's first black female firefighter she was able to slide through the system when anyone else that wasnt able to perform the duties they were HIRED to perform would've been fired! But that's typical for the City, instead of hiring the best and brightest they hire by the color of skin. Definately don't want someone that got hired to meet a quota providing care to my loved ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-15061160670946936182011-12-16T16:23:40.406-05:002011-12-16T16:23:40.406-05:00Honestly, it seems as though we are all like crabs...Honestly, it seems as though we are all like crabs in a bucket. As soon as we see someone make it to the top we try and pull them down. I’m impartial to the political scandal surrounding Mrs. Authors employment with the fire department however, I think it’s rather pathetic that someone would sit on the internet and bash another person’s accomplishments. Regardless as to how she achieved her goals, she got there. Admittedly, she should have researched, possibly taken some classes, and furthermore educated herself on the real-estate game before deciding to partake. However, I don’t think she deliberately tried to break the law. It’s not logical, if she’s greedy and has a sense of entitlement I don’t think she would participate in anything that; one jeopardizes her integrity , and two caused her to lose this much money. What I do conceptualize is that she was just another victim of someone who had the knowledge and recourses to obtain money and notable community figures such as herself for their disposal. Her greed must not have been to significant, because that would have lead her to do more than participate as a straw buyer for a measly 100k when these brokers where closing million dollar deals. Come on people let’s not be so one track minded that we only focus on what’s in front of us…Be an INDEPENDENT THINKER!!! And most important realize what’s going on its Deeper than Veldora Author and the city of Miami wake up!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-22994295023110968032011-12-15T20:44:02.782-05:002011-12-15T20:44:02.782-05:00Thanks Bill!Thanks Bill!The Straw Buyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161729289044418708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-81475739185521148462011-12-15T17:07:43.357-05:002011-12-15T17:07:43.357-05:00Crespo was right when he said she should stop givi...Crespo was right when he said she should stop giving money to lawyers.<br />If this is the best that a prominent lawyer can come up with , I think she's looking at a long sentence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-30233329084652356282011-12-15T13:48:28.865-05:002011-12-15T13:48:28.865-05:00Another great post!Another great post!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577849718532863841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403080658128369096.post-60620966226577390602011-12-15T12:40:35.853-05:002011-12-15T12:40:35.853-05:00This woman was a firefighter for less than 2 years...This woman was a firefighter for less than 2 years.after the Woolworth fire she was placed on light duty and NEVER returned to a fire truck or rescue.She was assigned a Cush office job and was never held to any standard of performance.Consistently MIA.Her degree was earned on city time when she was supposed to be working.Her attitude has always been one of entitlement .As the first black female she knew she could get away with lousy work ethic and performance.As for being promoted to chief it should have never happened it was because of her friendship with Kemp. The reason she thought that she could get away with these criminal activities it that she has always gotten a pass .she should get the sentence she deserves and more importantly she should lose her pensionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
