I keep an eye on Political Action Committee's because that is where large amounts of money can be funneled to fund pet projects/activities/candidates/whatever. This PAC was formed in October and it is an oddball. It is called Citizens for Reform for Miami Dade County. Frank R. May is the Chairman of the PAC, he lists his address as Coral Gables. Jeff Porter if the treasurer. The PAC was formed to support candidates in Homestead including Steven Bateman, Judy Waldman, Stephen Shelley, Jimmie L. Williams and Elvis Maldonado.
So, what is Frank May up to? Why not just give money to their campaign funds? Why the PAC? Is this going to be a brutal assault on the powers that be (except Waldman)? I don't care much for the FP&L Pandering Lynda Bell, but I like PAC's like this even less. And, a slate of candidates, that is strange. Watch this issue, there is more to it than meets the eye!! BTW, is he the same Frank May that is a Board Member of the Seminole Theater Group?

Those are Shivers good friends.
This is all part of the good ol' boys wanting back in after a two year hiatus. Bob Epling and Pinky Munz control Community Bank where this PAC's account is located. "SOFT MONEY" will be flowing.
Genius check out Munz. He is the guy who brought saltwater to Homestead by his sweetheart deal of a mining contract from Steve Shiver and Steve Bateman. Instead of digging deep into his pockets he dug the city rock pit too deep.
Millions are owed to Homestead. His support of Frank May's PAC with Bateman on top indicates FPL will have Munz digging rock pits for them. So long drinking water.
Be very afraid. Shiver is baaack.
May used to ghost write Roscoe Warren's speeches and his "co chair" of the Bateman campaign is Yvonne Knowles who failed to repay one of those small business CRA loans to Homestead and was involved in Main Street and got a raise when Shiver was then its Pres. Oh, and guess what, Shivers nasty little admin assistant, Jenn Helms is the soon to be wife of candidate Steve Shelley. Frank May is in charge of the other Homestead money pit also known as the Seminole Theater.
Anyone else notice that Jeff Porter is the treasurer ? Didnt he get his wrist slapped a few years ago for his own campaign accountings ? If these guys win, watch for the return of Munz, Curt Ivy as City Manager and more run- a -way development approvals.
You mean Shiver is getting tired of punching roller coaster tickets? Maybe Bill Losner lost all his money in a Bahamas real estate scam and wants back in.
Whack PACk is right on the money.
Frank May is the head of the rebuilding of a broken down relic in Homestead. Going on fifteen years now and millions later it is a failure.
Jeff Porter is the brains behind the confederate and civil war issue in Homestead. His role was to line up the current city council behind the guy with the flag so the council was viewed as racist.
Jeff Porter has brains? He had a neat thing going selling his cleaning supplies to the city while he was a councilman.He would not be anywhere if not for his mother's influence in old Homestead/Community Bank (sorta like the Meek son). The Farm Bureau/Community Bank Homestead group is still smarting from their losses last election. They can't accept that people do not want them in power. Maybe Community Bank took a big hit when the city had to close all their hundreds of bank accounts at Community and 1st National when the city was near bankrupcy. They want the power back. Bateman ran last in his election; talk about hitching your star to a looser. This PAC is all about funneling big dollars to campaigns while circumventing campaign donation rules.
Not hard to connect the dots here.
Porter now works for Mike Marcus at some "security " company. Marcus is the chairman of the Board at Community Bank and Steve Shelley is a tenant of Marcus in the Krome Ave law office. Until it got politically too hot to handle, Judy Waldman and her driver/husband were realtors at Marcus' real estate company, Century 21 Town and Country. This blog is going to get their goats because I think they like to do these things but do not want it to be talked about. They could not win the Mayors seat for Jeff, so they will try to buy it and let him play puppeteer for a couple of years.
Thank you Eye on Miami for exposing this information. Homestead Politics has reached an all time low.
at least not as low as Krome Ave Kronicles would have you believe... Thank you for getting that trash shut down. Who needs more lies in the political forum???
Please... go read the lowlife bloggers on the Homestead Political Truth; oxymoron. Once your read the smut posted by these EVIL hurtful people, perhaps your opinion will change; unless you are one of those people.
Neither of the Mayoral candidates nor the members of their slates have clean hands. Seems to be a matter of which set of crooks will you support. The more things change, the more they stay the same in Homestead.
Hmm....evil and hurtful are you talking about David and Billy? Since one is listed as a campaign treasurer that would be a no-no.
Let me tell you a little bit about this TOWN. It's a lot like that game, the seven degrees of Kevin Baccon. Everyone in this little stinking town has had some dealings with everyone else in this stinking little town at one time or another. There are no secrets, cause no one can keep their mouths shut. If you think for one minute that someone is involved in corruption than show some proof, or shut the F up. I am so tired of Lynda and her people spewing these un-truths to this blog, and you the blog eat it up as if it were from the lips of God. All you are trying to do is mislead the voting public, and get ratings.
Let me let you in on a little secret of my own, Lynda hates this blog, and she hates the Herald. So She told a crowd on wednesday, because they don't report "her" truth, ha ha. We know what her truth, which has nothing to do with our best interest, the people of Homestead. If any of you bloggers believe that the people who will be voting this nov 3rd are reading this, your sadly mistaken. There are maybe ten people who get on here at any given time, just to tell their one sided truths "hopping" it will do some good for their canidate. Whatever, you all make me sick! I guess we can start to dig on Linda and her abuse of the police dept. We can look into why her oldest child is still at the police acad. after lying on her app. we could also look into the many sunshine laws that get broken day after day with the secret little meetings that happen with our Council. (I have the pictures)
There is alot going on we could tell you. But who cares???? I do!
Oh and Lynda, stop waisting my taxpayer money by blogging on this and other blogs during city hours on city computers.
Get to work Missy!
What Lynda Bell doesn't want you to know, The TRUTH!
http://homesteadpoliticaltruths.blogspot.com/
The documents don't lie Bubba. Monroe County should know who else is on these blogs.
What does this have to do with Monroe county? This is a Miami Blog. HELLO... EYE ON MIAMI. Did I miss something here?? The last time I checked Homestead as well as Miami were all located in Dade county Florida. Monroe county could care less what our crazy mayor say or does.
Talk about wacky...I looked at some of your Homestead blogs.
Anyway, It looks like my innocent stumble across the PAC has opened up a hornets nest. I wish I knew what was true and was not. If the Miami Herald did a better job, I might know more about where the bodies are buried. Slinging accusations without support is not constructive.
Right about the Herald, awful sums it up. Local blogs get more info to the public with zero budgets.
Eye on Miami you opened Pandora's Box. And Bubba and friends don't like it! lil Miss Sunshine isn't that right?
Lynda's just mad cause she's out of a job starting Nov 3rd. Her and her cronies are the ones that are so upset about the turn of events recently. Everyone is backing Bateman.
Every man, woman, and child has had enough of Lynda Bell and the current council. These bloggers think if they get real negative and blast the opponets that they "might" win a vote or two.
Lynda is a vile, nasty, mean sprited person. If you want to see for yourself just go to our city hall site, click on the video link for the 2nd budget meeting and see for yourself what a raging lunatic she really is.
Oh my god, bubba is right. She is the devil. I cannot believe a city official would treat another in such a manner. Poor Ms Waldman, what she has had to deal with for the past two years, I can't imagine. That city manager need a pink slip, and the mayor needs an attitude ajustment.
WOW!!!
Anyone else notice that Jeff Anonymous said.........Porter is the treasurer ? Didnt he get his wrist slapped a few years ago for his own campaign accountings ? If these guys win, watch for the return of Munz, Curt Ivy as City Manager and more run- a -way development approvals.
Yeah but it was only 9 counts.
Perhaps we should make sure the Gov and his new commission are reading the blog. Certainly, you can't accuse someone of corruption without verifying the information - but this blog does a pretty good job of raising the questions and pointing in the direction that that new commission should be looking. 33 politicians so far - imagine that.
Dont cry for Judy. She is an un-reformable supporter of Rosen and Latterner and rarely voted to stop any development proposal. Too bad there is no one other than her current Bell supported challenger to give her a run.
http://www.homesteadpoliticaltruths.blogspot.com now has a sister blogger who contacted them because they post legal doucuments on the candidates running to back up what none of you bloggers ever done.
Bell with the confederate flag and denies it, sierra caught up in foreclouser scam however her writing is all over those scam doc, garrot looking down his pants on face book, failed business man who the state took away his license for his buisnes due to failure to report, Melvin lives in seat 6 not in SW and that home owes 25,000.00 or more but it is not his, criminal charges, his wife disorderly conduct and recently attack a mom outside the Keys Gate Charter School, Mayor lied at debate and is now tied up with an ethic complaint and ivestigation, gave herself and city mangager a raise and tried to hide that we can go on but wethe people like that blog no one is censerd. I bet u will cause u do not want the truth out ther.
