Miami mayor Manny Diez protested, called "rat" at DC mayoral convention
On Jan 24, the UC Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting & Gala was held at the National Building museum. Mayor Manny Diez of Miami gives developers free land (and evictions)to build condos in Overtown, so protestors called him the rat he is. 4 minute audio file
Listen now:
The Laborers Union brought out the giant inflatable rat, and the "Tony the Rat" somg was changed to "Manny the Rat" for Manny Diez of Miami.
The police ordered the laborers to take down the 20 foot inflatable rat, so one of Power U's speakers denounced them for taking down "the wrong rat."
The rat went up anyway-for about 5 minutes-as busses full of mayors from so many U$ cities were unloading in the driveway of the museum. Soon all the rats were in one trap, so to speak. Gentrification is a national menace and shame, so gentrifiers anywhere should be protested everywhere.
Power U from Miami has vowed to follow Manny the Rat wherever he goes until he stop throwing people out of their homes, and this song will help:
Manny the Rat! Manny the Rat!
He is the Mayor and he is a rat!
He's evicting us all, cause money he loves-
He is the Mayor and he is a rat!

HI. YES, MANNY DIAZ IS A RAT AND I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS STARTING TO SEE HIM FOR WHAT HE REALLY IS. HE IS A CORRUPT MAYOR WHO TOOK PART IN THE BIGGEST CORRUPTION SCANDAL IN MIAMI. HE AND HIS GROUPIES ( ALL OF THE COMMISSIONERS EXCEPT TOMAS REGALADO, CITY ATTORNEY, AND HIS BUDDY / CITY MANAGER AT THE TIME, JOE ARRIOLA. THE OTHER PARTY INVOLVED THAT ALSO GOT PAID WAS HANK ADOURNO AND YOSS - THE LAW FIRM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE CITIZENS INSTEAD WAS REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AND COLLECTING ON THE STOLEN MONEY - FOR A TOTAL OF 2 MILLION. WHY? BECAUSE HANK ADOURNO IS MANNY DIAZ'S FRIEND. THEY STOLE 7 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE TAX PAYERS AND TRIED TO PAY OFF 5 INDIVIDUALS TO KEEP THEM QUIET IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT INVOLVING THE CITY OF MIAMI. THE LAWSUIT WAS CONCERNING THE FIRE - RESCUE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT WHICH WAS DOUBLE TAXATION - ILLEGAL - OUR FLORIDA CONSTITUTION STATES IT CLEARLY. I AM ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT TOOK THESE DELINQUENTS TO COURT FOR THE CORRUPTION AND THEFT. THE JUDGES FINAL ORDER STATED THAT THEY WERE ALL GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY. OF COURSE THEY ARE APPEALING THE RULING. THERE IS A LOT MORE DETAILS TO THIS STORY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE CONTACT ME. ANYWAYS I AM GLAD TO SEE YOUR ARTICLE. I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR THESE POLITICIANS AND PLACE THEIR TRUST IN THEM NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. THANK YOU AGAIN.
