County Commissioner Bruno Barreiro filed his campaign papers for the 2012 County Commission election the last week in December 2010, within days of the petitions that were submitted to recall him! His papers were filed prior to the date that County Clerk Harvey Ruvin announced the group, Miami Voice, failed by 35 votes to get a recall election. You would think he wouldn't run if he was facing a recall and you might assume he would give the electorate time to forget he was almost recalled before running. There were 3,420 valid signatures to recall him and he decides to kick off his campaign??? There was no need to file now, almost 2 years before the election. What a complete asshole this guy is. He signed all the papers on December 23rd, as you can see above, the date is hard to read, I think it says the 27th. Ruvin announced the results on the 28th.
Someone run against Barreiro PLEASE!! The most important reason to run against a sitting commissioner is so the lobbyists and developers have to spend money. That is a fun thing to do: Make them give to these losers. It only costs about $360 to run, you don't have to be a serious candidate and you don't have to pay the fee for months -- you can drop out before the fee kicks in so you can virtually run with no money. I would at least do a website for show or get some business cards but it is not a requirement. Filing the papers is a piece of cake - I will help you. We should get 10 or 15 people to register to run against Bruno...it would make him crazy and it would be so amusing. Elections have turned into a joke so why not enjoy them.

What kind of timing is that? These politicians really don't have a clue, who is running his campaign - him mom?
$360.00? Not an issue... I would run tomorrow... but I have to factor in the cost of house and moving :(
Did you not read my post Dec. 21st?
I wonder if there is any possibility that this allows him to cover donations from 2010?
Is there any tax liability for campaigns? Or benefit to his "owners", or contributors to be able to donate across several years?
There must be more to this than meets the eye.
Maybe it was so he could collect for the recall under the guise of his 2012 election.
Whatever his reason, the timing is I'll advised.
Bruno Barrerio is the "bought and paid for" commissioner who made the Motion to divert $3.5 BILLION from the taxpayers to bailout the Marlins. Barrerio refused to consider any admendments to the Motion that might have protected the taxpayers.
I'll run...
