One of the problem sitting County Commissioners have is: What do they do with the obscene amount of leftover cash, sitting in their campaign accounts, after they crush their opponents? In 2008 Vile Natacha Seijas had to face that very problem when she collected $304,426. Natacha, of course, works for the "Y" so she gave them the most, $55,000. Terry Murphy, her Chief of Staff, was past president of ASPA, they got $5,000. My least favorite gay bashing group, Christian Family Coalition got $3,000. The Latin Builders Association got $2,000 and the Hialeah Chamber of Commerce got $10,000. Doesn't Miami Lakes have a chamber too? Anyway, just thought it was interesting to see where this money goes. Pepe Diaz and Javier Souto will be facing the same problem come October. Maybe they can just disburse it to Natacha's groups, some of the same ones that helped get her elected.

Several years ago, Evelyn Greer, Cindy Lerner and Ron Saunders gave their extra cash to a group headed by Ken Forbes. It did not have a federal tax exemption as required. Forbes used it to pay poll workers, Ken Forbes and various friends and family. Shame on candidates that do not check to see if these organizations are legit before giving our hard-earned cash to them. I think the money should be returned to the donors rather than candidates using it to buy "good-will" for their next race.
You mean lobbyists cash... People often get their money back --- I have.
She gave to mostly groups in Hialeah but she lives in Miami Lakes. Doesn't she like her neighbors?
Last Anon - you mean the vile one?The woman hates manatees for god-sakes. I feel sorry for her human neighbors.
Didn't the majority of Miami Lakes vote for her recall in the election where only 11% of registered voters came out to vote? But the Miami Lakes votes was overwhelmed by Hialeah voters. A lot of us despise her and wish she'd move back to Hialeah with her supporters.
Why LBA?
LBA is such a benevolent bunch. It probably bought girl scout cookies for their seniors with it.
Yeah, and handed them out on the bus on the way to the polls.
