Zapata and Garcia still at the helm of Dade Delegation

There was no major changing of the guard when the Miami-Dade Legislative Delegation met recently to elect a chair and vice chair.

State Rep. Juan Zapata, a Miami Republican, was reelected to his role as chair of the 25 member delegation. State Rep. Luis Garcia, a Miami Beach Democrat, will also return to his post as vice chair.

"My personal goal as Chairman will be to utilize state resources to increase access to primary healthcare for the uninsured in Miami-Dade County," Zapata said via a press release.

Added Garcia: "I pledge to work hard to unifying our delegation, regardless of party lines, for the benefit of the all the people in Miami-Dade County."

Zapata, Garcia and the rest of the delegation will have the chance to hear out Miami-Dade residents at a legislative public hearing scheduled for 9:30a.m. Dec. 3rd at the Stephen P. Clark Center in Downtown Miami.

David Rivera’s impeccable Republican credentials include having served as Chairman of the Republicans for Clinton Coalition in 92. Thanks for supporting the Republican candidate, Rep. Rivera!

Why isn't the LIBERAL Versailles Blog talking about David "Mr. Republican" Rivera CHAIRING the coalition of Republilcans for the BILL CLINTON against an INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN President!!!

[The Real Elias]

How come the Versailles Blog doesn't talk about the financing of David Rivera's State Committeeman race? How about the Ringer story from the Herald? Obviously, integrity is not a requirement for REC CHair in Miami "Banana Republic" Dade...

Listen here, I gave money to Sires because of my business ties to him. I could care less about ideology. This will not affect my decision making ability as Chairman.

And I supported Bill Clinton in 1992 because I thought he was better than President George H. W. Bush. I could care less about ideology. This will not affect my decision making ability as Chairman.

Zapata and Garcia should give Rep Anitere Flores a job. She probably cant get anything for FIU anymore since she is in the dog house with House leadership so her value to FIU is greatky diminished.

[GetTheFactsStraight]

Flores in the doghouse with House Leadership???? Is that way Sansom made her Deputy Majority Leader?? Yeah, they must really not like her....

[Got the fat straight]

I thought Anitere Flores just lost the election to be Dade Delegation Vice Chair last week to Rep. Luis Garcia, a Democrat! By the way are you refering to Sansom, the guy who is under fire for getting a $110,000 job at a university that he got the legislature to give them an extra $200,000.

[Juan]

Doesn't Anitere work at a university and did the legislature give them $$$ to pay her salary?

[Berta]

Who is Anitere Flores and what exactly does she do at F.I.U. and why is this the topic on this blog? The State Attorneys office should investigate any wrong doing and this blog should get back on topic.
