County Commission Chair Jean Monestime Picks Terry Murphy for His Senior Policy Adviser. By Geniusofdespair


Okay you all know I am big on people having a good old Epiphany (I am still waiting for brain impaired Pepe Diaz to have his). If Jack Abramoff can have one -- anyone can. Terry has had one from the wacky Natacha Seijas whom he worked for as Chief of Staff, although I think they are still friends. He is a handful this Mr. Murphy. I have met with him several times and we agree more than we disagree. Anyway he makes me laugh.

I have heard he will soon become the Senior Policy Adviser to the Miami Dade County Commission Chair Jean Monestime.

I just realized that is the wrong photo of Terry above - the shirt and tie threw me off. See this one below. I think it is right.

I bet Dr. Murphy will have fun. The Mayor maybe not so much fun!

He's a charmingly, smart as a whip, handful. He has the ability to straight-talk and is literate (does his research and then applies analysis.) In other words, he's the polar opposite of Carlos Gimenez.

Terry Murphy is the single most intelligent person in South Florida government. PLUS he knows where all the skeletons are buried. He is one of the very few with institutional memory. PLUS he is a practicing Catholic.
Congrats Chairman Monestine!

Excellent choice Monestine. No one can match Terry's knowledge of M-D County government.

This was a great move. Terry understands Miami-Dade County government. He will be a great asset to the Office of the Chair.

Terry, congratulations :)

I will always be someone who says, "I knew him before he became the single most intelligent person in south Florida Government!"

Several decades later, Terry is still getting better! Yay!

Terry is smart. Too bad he is so friendly with unions. Big problem.

Will Terry give up his union clients?

Isn't that the same political hack moron who was an adviser to the greedy police union and who was recently defending the incompetent budget director?

Yup and Terry lobbies for electrical unions too. Still on the unions payroll?

In the intragovernmental battle between the Commission and the Mayor's just shifted in the Commission's favor. Terry is a brilliant analyst, and skilled strategist. And being Irish never hurt.

Cody was one of Natacha's lawyers.

And let's not forget who Terry is married to. Another one who knows "where, when and with whom". She is feared by the Mayor and staff. Monestine has acquired a great team! He's getting a "two-fer"!

Isn't Terry's wife another do-nothing political hack on the county dole?

Who is Terry married to?
