Posted April 11, 200619 yr THANK GOD THAT MAN IS OUT OF OFFICE. NOT FOR THE MARLINS SAKE, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF MIAMI ITSELF. IF I EVER SAW THAT MAN IN PUBLIC, I WOULD STICK MY FOOT SOFAR UP HIS ASS,HED BE CHEWING THE GUM I JUST STEPPED ON..
April 11, 200619 yr Thank the Lord, he's a shame to the liberal ideology he's sworn to represent. This can't possibly hurt our chances, so I like the possible side effects. Now we need to dump a couple more people.
April 11, 200619 yr All I can say is that Coconut Grove is still too far behind Hialeah in this race. They better get a Burgess-like bundle of energy if the ballpark is to ahve an address in the City of Miami.
April 11, 200619 yr Not so fast... Arriola says he's staying put for now By MICHAEL VASQUEZ mrvasquez@MiamiHerald.com Miami City Manager Joe Arriola -- contrary to what his critics want, contrary to speculation further fueled by his own comments this morning on Cuban radio -- is staying put. For now, at least. In an morning interview on Spanish-language AM station WQBA, Arriola reportedly said he would leave his post once a replacement is found. The comments led at least one TV station to report that Arriola had announced his retirement. But Arriola later told the Miami Herald that his morning radio talk did not include any information not previously made public. The manager said he has made it clear he would eventually leave -- but there is no firm date as to when that would occur. It could be months and months away. When Arriola talked on the radio about stepping down once a successor was found, the manager says he was simply explaining how the process would work, not implying he'd be leaving any sooner. There is no chosen successor at this point, Arriola said, nor even any finalists for the job. Arriola noted that in 2002, Mayor Manny Diaz tapped him to lead the search for a city manager, and Arriola ended up taking the job himself when no suitable candidate was found. ''That could happen again,'' Arriola said.
April 11, 200619 yr i doubt that that is going to help the marlins at this point now.diaz turned his back on the marlins too and he's the mayor.he defended arriolla against samson.against us. before anyone talks bad about samson just remember,samson is still trying to keep the marlins here. samson and mayor alvarez and mayor robaina ar the good guys.
April 11, 200619 yr Well sort of. I was just posting a new thread on this but you beat me to it. Yes, he has said he'll be leaving, but he's suggesting it won't be until after the November elections which may impact the Marlins chances of getting back into a dialogue with Miami (and recapturing those city-pledged CDT dollars). The other thing is his most talked about replacement Jose Abreu, while a brilliant guy, is more of a technocrat than anything else with a long list of the same alliances as Arriola. At least he's not a neanderthal. Translation, when he kicks you in the b*lls he doesn't say "f*ck you very much" too.  One good thing about Abreu is he's been able to straddle the city/county fence pretty well and has earned high marks from county mayor Alvarez, who has been an ally of the Marlins.

April 11, 200619 yr Manny Diaz is on vacation. and the Zoo in Coconut Grove just welcomed the circus to town.
April 11, 200619 yr who was it that said "if you're thinking about retirement you've already retired"? Â He'll be gone sooner than he's letting on. They'll name an interim manager and then hire a permanent one. That fire fee scandal was his undoing.

April 12, 200619 yr I guess it's kind of cool. Not sure if it's going to change anything. It isn't just Arriola, you know.
