Valet Parking Provided

Rumpole wonders: Just how did they get our email address?


If we attend, will the State Attorney address the issues that we raised during the “State Attorneys Office Christmas Massacre Post?”

Why is valet parking needed?

Will the State Attorney explain to us how Herb Walker decided to resign out of the blue, and how his resignation had absolutely nothing to do with the sexual harassment complaints made against him?

Will the State Attorney explain to us her policy of firing people who lie about why they were fired? How about her policy of punishing and firing young assistants who assist charities.

In lieu of the above, does she really want Rumpole to attend her party?

We may well solicit funds to allow us to make a donation and attend.

Should Rumpole attend the State Attorney’s fundraiser?
And should we trust her valets with our car?

I heard that a lawyer is running for Clerk of Courts against Harvey Rubin, anyone have any idea who it is that is running?

another one who needs opposition

I'm not sure, but regardless, it's not a good position for a lawyer.

Rump, sure KFR isn't perfect, but who's the alternative? Crazy Al Millian, who would replicate Satz' Broward SAO here in Dade? When someone of substance and reason steps forward to run, then maybe others of us will get behind him/her, but that person hasn't stepped forward yet. Bottom line: it could be a whole lot worse than KFR!

I won't post comments addressed to people you suspect are running the blog (and couldn't be more wrong about). Enough already. So keep writing it that way, but no one will see it. Your choice.

One piece of advice that has always stood me in good sted over the years when dealing with Kathy Fernandez-Rundle:

WASH. RINSE. REPEAT.

Rumpole, you are such a nose bleed.

The race for the Clerk's office just got tight:

www.babunclerk.com

Ruvin and McGillis watch out!

Babun states he is running for clerk because:

" Quite frankly, any Miami-Dade citizen that doesn't know
what the Clerk of Circuit Courts is or does, any citizen that
is not satisfied with accurate County records or
paperwork, any citizen that feels the Clerk of Circuit
Courts office is against them instead of compassionate of
their situation, any citizen that feels it is cumbersome to
visit any Courthouse in Miami-Dade, any employee of the
Clerk's office that doesn't feel appreciated for all of your
efforts and hard work, any citizen that feels it takes far too
long to get an answer to a question as simple as a
telephone number or what department you need for your
situation, any citizen that feels it is time to be appreciated
by your County for choosing to live here - should vote for
me, John Babun, in November. I will work for you, the
citizens of Miami-Dade County. "

McGillis will be upset to know that he took his slogan "Honesty, Integrity.. Blah Blah..

I'm sure the invitation was sent to you because you are a former ASA and employee of KFR. Please don't attend--wouldn't want to destroy the complete metamorphosis to the dark side or cease biting the hand that fed you and launched you into a successful career as a defense attorney.

L'Hermitage is a very expensive address. I can see a guy like her neighbor Sisser (disgraced cigar chomping lobbyist) affording it, but the SA? Fake Anonymous....

For those who might be interested.Judge Julio Gonzalez is having a fund raising event in Coral Gables on 3-25 at 5:30-7:00Hotel ST. Michel.

such silliness Rumpole, you really are sounding like quite the yenta. I received one also and my best guess was that it was through the dade democratic party's email list. Plenty of former ASAs I know did not get this.

Dont fret over valet, in places with tiny streets and little available space, valets are brought in to shuttle people's cars to an available parking area-- not a big mystery.

Kathy really needs to be replaced.
however we will all agree it needs to be a white, non-jew, cuban.
