Property Appraiser Election for Miami Dade County is Coming Up. By Geniusofdespair

Ernesto Castellanos is running for Miami Dade County Property Appraiser. He worked for the property appraiser office for 24 years and is now retired (in 2010).

On the phone Ernesto Castellanos was very short with me which was a turnoff. He didn't say he would call me back when he had more time...that was a turnoff too. I wouldn't support him if this is how he treats people: Blowing them off: Rude. Somehow I got the feeling that not being Hispanic was part of the reason for the don't give a shit about you attitude.

Pedro J. Garcia the incumbent has my vote thus far out of the two running. Although I do remember him saying something about one term when he ran the first time. I have a call into Garcia but I think his daughter gave me a non-working number...anxious to hear his phone demeanor. Pedro has collected $35,350. I think someone else entering this race would have a chance against Pedro, he is not a good campaigner, but Ernesto-- it won't happen for you. Don't discount people who take the time to call you, we are the ones voting.

I will wait to see if there is a third candidate and who they are.

Right now, I am with you on Pedro Garcia.

Garcia promised to be a one termer because of his age and by the way, he "adopted" Alvarez's favorite Hialeah fundraiser Millie N. from Alvarez's old staff and gave her a job doing the same non-work job that she did when was on the 29th floor.

Garcia doesn't convince me at all....
Is he paying Millie N. the same Alvarez was paying her?
Business as usual at county hall..
Jejeje

"We are the ones voting" indeed!!! Garcia won the first time because VNS heavily campaigned for him at the senior centers. He will have a difficult campaign this time around... Love it!!! all of VNS proteges are going down..
