Miami-Dade County Pubs: Where are they getting their money? By Geniusofdespair


I reported last week that Lobbyist Ron Book was giving to the Republicans and not the Democrats. I decided to look at who else is giving to the Republicans. In the past two reports they collected over $100,000 and spend just about that much. The Miami-Dade Democrats during the same time perior (8/20/2010 through 3/31/2011) took in about $20,000. So who is giving to the local Pubs besides Ron Book:

Yahoo Inc. $5,000 (this one has left me speechless I guess YAHOO SUCKS!)
Gold Coast Beverages (Frank Schwiep CEO) $10,000
West Flager Associates (Gaming) $3,500
Capital Gains Corp. (Found an LLC, Mgr. Cecilia Curbelo, once Carlos) $5,000
Holland & Knight LLP $1,500
Carlisle Development Group $2,500
West Flagler Associates $1,250
Dosal Tobacco Corp. (they have a sweet deal in Florida) $10,000
Fuentes Consulting Group $2,500 (Lobbyists)
Palm Beach County Fire PAC $2,500
Las Vegas Sands Corp. $5,000
Hialeah Services $5,000 (John Brunetti, Hialeah Race Track)
Arrizurietta & Associates $1,000
Becker & Poliakoff $2,500
Tate Enterprises $5,000
Robert Levy & Associates $3,000

Going back to the prior report 5/5/2010 - 8/19/2010:


Mardi Gras Gaming $2,500
Gustavo Barreiro $150
Becker & Poliakoff $2,500
Julio Robaina TGO $150
Towncare Dental Partnership $5,000
Esteban Bovo (Running for District 13 seat) $5,000
Congressman David Rivera $30,000
Miguel Diaz de la Portilla $1,750
Eric Fresen $1,500
MCCI Group (Jose Armas Manager) $5,000
Quantum Results $1,500 (Al Lorenzo)
Florida Crystals Corp. $1,500
Professional Firefighters PAC $5,000
Fairway View Associates LTD (Brunetti again, Hialeah Racetrack

Why would Yahoo give to the local Republican party? It doesn't make any sense.

AnthonyVOP said...

Perhaps Yahoo realizes that to prevent the Government takeover of the Internet will take a grassroots movement.

Geniusofdespair said...

A grassroots movement of Republicans? That is totally ridiculous. Do you know what grassroots means? The Common man...not the organized political party.

If you want a party that's not organized, become a Democrat. (With a nod to Will Rogers.)

Geniusofdespair,

Ever hear of the Tea Party?

About as Grassroots as they come.

AnthonyVOP said...

That's me a disgruntled Republican out to drive you bloggers crazy. We tea party people know what we are doing.

Geniusofdespair said...

Don't bother writing...you are going to get erased in the future. I don't give people trying to drive me crazy a voice. Good riddance AnthonyVOP!

Senator Jeremy Ring was one of the founding members of YAHOO.

So, Anthony, you are a tea party person? I thought you weren't.

Not sure about Yahoo, but for sure we should be talking about the FCC here. Deregulation of that is a bad, bad thing.

Does it really matter at this point?

Geniusofdespair said...

Yes it matters. Are you ready to throw in the towel to a bunch of losers that think Donald Trump should be our next president?
