What a good day, Natacha Seijas gets a dressing down in the Miami Herald after she tried to attack the Editorial Dept. Managing Editor with misinformation. Myriam Marquez (I knew I would like her) takes VNS on, finishing with:
If this is the type of ``research'' the commissioner conducts on the budget, well, no wonder we're broke.
Ouch! You have tangled with the wrong beast Marquez. How will she punish you?

That was one of the best Herald commenary's I've read in a long time. Seijas - do you'r damn homework!
Thank you Myriam for telling her how to spell your name. Whoever the employee was in her office that pulled the info will probably be hung and quartered tomorrow.
Terry Murphy?
Y must confess It was Y that did the research.
Myriam Marquez for Mayor of Miami-Dade County!
Superlative.
If Vile Seijas cannot even do a little basic fact checking accurately why is she making decisions on a billion dollar budget?
Myriam, VNS does not "do" research. She does not "use" a computer. She does not "email". She has one interest: her power. She will laugh off her "mistake". She will be "congratulated" by little Joe, big Pepe, money Rolle, and dimwit Bruno. It's all part of the fun and games intimidating the Herald. Carry on.
KUDOS MYRIAM,
Take heed Linda Bell (running for Dist 8 Commission)----Birds of a feather flock together & should get
tarred and feathered by the magnificent press.

No one is paying attention. We invent our own reality.
To the anom above I'm sure she not only has paid staffers but well paid as well.
But then again remember this is just a part time job, they have other jobs and interests in mind.
The above is right on about Lynda Bell. While Mayor she used to threaten and scold reporters from both the Herald and South Dade News Leader when she did not feel an article was flattering to her. Like VNS, she always feels as though she has to have the last word. Guess what, EL Bell, this time as they did last November, the voters will have the last word and the last laugh. If you and VNS cannot stand the heat, stay out of politics.
I guess the Commissioner will re-activate the Miami Herald Censorship team. Which means someone somewhere in the county will have to give up their job so she can use the money to staff that office.
Do you think Seijas, the Miami Lakes shut-in, is peering through her blinds at Eyeonmiami?
I dont get your headline saying Seijas was personally attacked. If anything, Seijas personally attacked Marquez using bad data. Marquez simply called her on it.
Myriam attacked the research the commissioner conducts...when you attack my research ability, I take that as a personal attack.
Read the quote I put in:
"If this is the type of ``research'' the commissioner conducts on the budget, well, no wonder we're broke."
She was only referring to ONE commissioner in that quote and she was attacking how she did HER job...that is pretty personal, and Myriam didn't say "staff." Anyway, it got you to read the blog.
You will find Public Records under her married surname, she is still using it.....

"In 1987 Seijas (who went by her married surname for years) became the first Cuban-American woman elected to the Hialeah City Council."
"An infuriated Curry stormed out of the commission chamber. On his radio program later that day, the pastor dubbed the commissioner "Natacha Millan Racist Seijas."

Where is Cochran civic duty in all this, He considers Millan a Friend?
"Next stop: the Miami-Dade County elections office. The women who work the counter are familiar with Cochran's weathered red face and gray-streaked, dirty-blond hair. He is here to pick up a report on the last municipal election in Hialeah. The paperwork contains a precinct-by-precinct breakdown of the voting. It is destined for County Commissioner Natacha Millan. She could have sent a staffer, but it would have taken days for almost anyone else to obtain the data. One phone call to Cochran in the morning and the information was in her hands by the afternoon. Millan has so much confidence in Cochran that in September she named him to the county's Charter Review Committee; he is one of only four private citizens on the board, which will recommend changes to the law that regulates county government. The other nine posts are held by commissioners. "I really don't think about it," answered Cochran when asked to comment on his elected peers. "They are just my friends.""
