Term limited Florida Rep. Marcel Lorente is running for Miami Dade Mayor in 2012. He has now collected $234,769.00. I previously reported on his candidacy. Among his contributors is Steven Marin and Maria Marin, and Marin and Sons,Inc. (2/18/2010 and 6/30/2009 - ($1,000 under same Corp.?? when the limit is $500), plus Child Guidance Mgmt. Group, Inc. (same address/ suite run by Norma Marin). Total from Marin interests: $2,500. Does this mean Steve Marin will be running his campaign? I would think YES but what do I know. I am curious when/if the little guy on the County Commission is going to throw his hat in this race.Llorente also got a few donations from affordable housing developers such as the Wolfson's and Carlisle Development Group, lobbyist Brian May and judge campaign consultant Robert Levy. The campaign made a few payments to Riesco & Company for professional fees.
Marcelo got a lot of donations from "Best Efforts" listed under 'occupation' (about $5,000). What is that suppose to mean? What kind of occupation is Best Efforts? Llorente Campaign: Learn to fill out your campaign contribution form correctly please.

Steve Marin's corp gave $1,000? Is an investigator looking into that?
If you see lobbyists contributing money that means the candidate is "open" to being influenced.
Lobbyists Always give candidates money. Where have you beeen?
He looks like a young Charlie Crist. Perhaps he's Charlie's son?
"Best efforts" means that the candidate used his/her best efforts to provide the occupation of the donor. If the donor doesn't provide it or doesn't respond, then the candidate just fills in the blank with that or something generic, like businessman or homemaker.
You're allowed to contribute $500 per person OR entity. The fact that a person has many different entities for one company is VERY common. Do you guys know ANYTHING about campaigns or politics??? I say you spend more time researching and save your stupid comments to yourself! No investigator needed. Nothing illegal. I can write a check from my husband, myself, and whatever business entities I have and it's 100% legit!
fella we know plenty about campaign reports and how friggin developers give $10,000 through their corps when there is a $500 limit. It might be legal but it doesn't make it right, there are no stupid comments here people are learning..good. Reading one blog with no context to the thousands and the thousands of comments makes you one giant step behind. Readers are trying to learn the ropes. Cut them some slack when they are appalled by our fucked up laws.
