In Carlos, We Trust

In your Riptide column by Mr.Alvarado "In Carlos we Trust" as stated in the article a dozen of high-level,well paid county exectives contributed $5,000 or more toward the first quarter of his reelection campaign.I see thisact with violating federal campaign laws,how can thethics panelor Mr. K. Rosenthal (ethics commission chairperson) cannot or would not questioned this potental conflicting relationship,allthes Dept.executies clearly has a vested interest,for future job security(remembering his 07' firing of Mr. R. Bradley,forcedzoning director Ms.D williams to retire. demoted Employee Relations Director Donald Allen) so,yes people willbe fearful of thier jobs.and his "strong Mayor"tactics may have something to do with that, the county's giftlimits should be amended so no smells ofimpropriety can be construed,with all this 3rdworld banana politics in Miami disclosing and declaring any transplancy with not give the appearance of a "bribe"to ensure public integrity Fla."s Conflicts Rules on the State/Local levels should be looked into concerning Mr. Alvarez campaign. and by the way on the 2nd public hearing in Sept. 20th and with his July's spending plan announcement, look at all his proposed budget cuts and see what departments will be affected!
