Word on the street is Vile Natacha will face another recall shortly. Vanessa Brito told me the petition were going in this week and she told Miami New Times as well. Tim Elfink said:"Well, don't start putting your long-term investments into commissioners' coffers just yet. Miami Voice plans to deliver its first round of signatures -- thousands backing the recall of the "vile" Natacha Seijas, as our friends at Eye on Miami have dubbed the Wicked Witch of West Dade -- to the clerk of courts by the end of the week..."
When Natacha Seijas got recalled last time the PAC Citizens to Protect the People's Choice was formed and as you can see in the graphic above, Stephen Cody was the lawyer hired at $22,600 to help her foil the recall. He represented her in the cursive writing caper (Ruvin threw out petitions because instead of printing their name - people joined letters where it said "print.") The petition gathers went to court and got the thrown out petitions reinstated. Long story short, Natacha was forced into a recall election and won her commission post again.
There is one big problem with this PAC. The total contributions are $2,800, yet the amount spent was $71,026.77. Where did the money come from? It should be on this ledger sheet.
Obviously there is one odd amount, $25,000 went out to a PAC controlled by Fred Frost of the AFL-CIO union. It says a donation. Was it a donation FROM Working Families Count put in the wrong column? Whatever, there is something very wrong with this PAC's accounting and I would like to see where ALL of the $71,026 came from.
Expect more of this kind of creative accounting unless someone report's this PAC. Please report it someone. Also very curious, the filing documents for this PAC are missing so we don't know who the treasurer is and the Corporation formed with this name is defunct. The names on the corporation were Julio Garuz, Daniel Hernandez and Olga Ochoa. The Registering agent: None other than Stephen Cody.

Mr. Cody, you mean the same guy who sued Eugene Flinn during the Dist. 8 race? Anyone still believing Bell(ONB) isn't just a mouthpiece (pawn) for Ms. Manatee VNS I have some houses to sell you in Hudstead, where ONB approved all the applications THEN wrote the moretorium!
Yep, thanks VNS/Cody for reminding us we truly live in Havana North where the prosecutor and Judges in the circuit courts - all elected, are pawns of the elected officials of the BCC or Mayor, or not really honestly elected, but have the best/smartest absentee ballot collectors! And of course, Harvey Ruvin (who I personally really find to be a decent guy) - go ahead and taint him too!
Stephen Cody was also at the Miami Voice's press conference (recall group).
I bet he had his camera phone working. He loves to take pictures.
I'd like to know where the money came from too. How do I find out? Where do I start digging. I'm happy to look.
Why would there be only 3 poll workers and why would they be from South Dade?
FBI, FBI, FBI!
Yeah you would think that Kathy Fernandez Rundle would at least show some sign of interest, wouldn't you? This county is a joke, and the failure of the state attorney's office to do its job and investigate corruption is a big part of it.
out of sight, that's the land (south dade) of the ethically challenged (and fined) Ken Forbes and a few others, not fined - yet! How do you think Bell won Leisure City, which gave her the 300+ votes to beat Flinn! VNS is in South Dade all the time, and now, Hialeah controls Redland, which is what VNS wanted all along. Oh, there's so much more to this than I could write in a comment.
Let's not forget that Cody was the attorney representing the ever so "ethical" David M. Rivera when Burzee (took him to court) tried to boot Rivera off the ballot this past October.
