Councilman Nick Perdomo of Miami Lakes: What was that again? By Geniusofdespair


You can watch the WPLG video tape of the budget hearing. The City Manager of Miami Lakes was a cop in Liberty City earlier in his career. Councilman Perdomo was trying to ease the angst of the Manager over the lay-off of one of the Manager's assistants -- telling him that he would be okay, but Perdomo's choice of words were questionable at best. This is how he said it (see graphic from WPLG).

How about a hot girl from Liberty City...as long as you are stereotyping people, let's go all the way.

How dumb is this councilman?

I think he is out of touch with the real world. Heck, I know he is.

He should go on the list of Elected Officials that we would like to vote out of office. May be right up there in the top 10 on that list.

If that was said in a public meeting, can you imagine what is said in private?

He has the full faith and support of Mayor Pizzi who supported him and seems to be a part of the slate of councilmembers who support Pizzi on everything. Very sad indeed and a black eye for the community.

Is it possible that Nick was referring to the Liberty City riots when he made the 'animals' comment? If so, it was an accurate statement. Perhaps you want to keep that to yourself. But accurate all the same. The individuals who perpetrated the violence WERE animals!

It is insensitive to call human beings animals...

The root of the problem comes from Frank Bocanegra that was the one originating the comment. It would be interesting to know if there is any complaint against him from any resident of Liberty City during the time of the riots.

The person supporting Nick's comment should be ashamed of supporting those comments.

Both of them should apologize to the residents of Liberty City and Nick also should apologize to the Nicaraguan women for degrading them.

Nick was simply being honest, since he could have revealed more than than that but he kept his cool!

Nick would not reveal anything because he knows he has just as much dirty laundry to air out. I didn't see Frank saying anything during the entire footage.

Self-proclaimed a successful businessman, only makes me ashamed that I'm an entrepreneur also. The ugly use of his speech and the dress of a pimp only makes me discussed. If we re-elect this bozo we only have each other to blame, we know what we have with Nick. A classless human being that has no business representing us in this wonderful town. But then again he is a carbon copy of the mayor.
