Argus Report: heard Seen on the street:
>>>M-DC Public Schools district’s digital divide upgrade est. at $500 million, “70,000 new devices,” already ordered, Goodman, C.P.A. likely new chief auditor, for nation’s 4th largest public school district.
At the Miami-Dade public Schools meeting Wednesday the discussion of keeping students’ computers up to date and usable given all the virtual learning that has been going on is estimated to be a $500 million investment and the district has already ordered “70,000,devices,” said staff and the program is extremely expensive said board member Dr. Marta Perez. Staff also noted that some 500 million people access the network, which highlights the problem of keeping the devices current in the fast changing and supply limited world of today. Further, the district is creating a technology advisory committee that in the past included Manny Medina, a local tech maven.
>>> New district chief auditor moves forward after school board waives workshop, man known to board, will likely be Jon Goodman, C.P.A., a solid choice for community fire wall watchdog.
Further the board voted to waive the required board workshop to select the district’s new chief auditor likely veteran auditor Jon Goodman, C.P.A. and the man is key to the nation’s fourth largest public schools district, that in the 1990’s was plagued with scandals but the new audit budget advisory committee now made-up of CPA’s not the case back then and is the community’s firewall on how millions in public dollars are being spent.
PHT/JHS
>>> What about management changes at Jackson Health System? Don S. Steigman is promoted to president of Jackson Health System, a good choice for continuity after CEO Migoya says sayonara after one-year contract extension, both have done remarkable job, during COVID, and working well with other hospital systems, like Baptist Health System, and its affiliation with FIU’s medical school in south Florida and the loose consortium is a major achievement for the public good, in this medical crisis.
>>Aug. PHT agenda: PRESIDENT’S REPORT: As JHS prepares for the future, Mr. Migoya announced effective immediately the following changes to the leadership structure: Promoted to President of Jackson Health System was Don S. Steigman. Mr. Steigman will be the driving force behind further evolution and integration with the University of Miami; remain the senior executive for the non-negotiable priorities of patient outcomes, quality, and safety; continue operational oversight of all outpatient facilities and their strategies, as well as the long-term care centers; and some key non-clinical areas such as construction and program planning. Promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Jackson Health System was David Zambrana. Mr. Zambrana will oversee all inpatient clinical operations; and provide leadership for the chief nursing executive and the business and operational improvement team. Mr. Steigman and Mr. Zambrana will collaborate to ensure the experiences in JHS urgent care centers and primary care clinics align with physician practices, emergency departments, hospitals and specialized programs.
More on JHS agenda: Carlos A. Migoya, President and Chief Executive Officer reported on the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in the community and Jackson Health System (JHS). Currently JHS is caring for 395 COVID-19 positive inpatients. COVID-19 has become a pandemic of the unvaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines are nearly perfect protection for most people against serious illness and hospitalization. JHS has resumed offering on-site vaccination for employees and will be offering the third booster shot as soon as it becomes available. As JHS prepares to move into fiscal year 2022 budget it is clear that COVID-19 will have a fiscal impact. There is a need to prepare for the possibility of future surges driven by new variants, and be able to adjust staffing, capacity and other logistics. In extreme cases, COVID-19 cases can squeeze out bed capacity for more profitable cases, reduce demand and bandwidth for elective procedures, and drive-up premium staff pricing to astronomical levels. Over the past ten years JHS has had a dynamic and flexible financial plan and for that Mr. Migoya recognized Ana Perez, Budget Director, Darryl Caulton, Vice President of Finance, Mark T. Knight, Chief Financial Officer and the Finance Team for the ton of work that is done every year to create a successful budget. In addition, Mr. Migoya recognized Michael A. Garcia, Chief Information Officer, Connie Barrera, Senior Director of Information Technology and the Information Technology Team for their constant vigilance, monitoring and response to cyberattacks on JHS and patients.
EDITORIAL
Today is a milestone today for the WDR, I had no idea back in May 2000, just wanted to get rid of Miami commissioner Plummer
>>> This is the first Vol. 22 No.01 issue and back in 05.05.00 I had no idea I would still be doing this, especially given some medical scares in the early years when I did not have health insurance when I was septic, and I was saved by surgeon Jorge Rabaza,M.D., at South Miami Hospital.
I didn’t go to Jackson. Since I knew the CEO Dr. Roldan and I didn’t want to get any special treatment, like some commissioners did, and at south Miami I knew only a neighbor Dr. Yvonne Johnson, M.D. and her family and I survived the ordeal, ‘by a flip of a coin,” said the surgeon and that is a very humbling experience and why I have been able to keep at it since, even after breaking my hip, while a setback, I am mobile and attending meetings and I would not have jumped into watching public institutions. If I had not seen some of the waste and lack of communication among the billions in public institutions spent.
Further, former Miami Commissioner J.L. Plummer, in office 29-years had a hand in it when at the dais he would be a Florida cracker and say, “I hate everyone, the Jews, the Krauts Spics and others all the same and then cackle.” And then his political guy who said in public “I get them elected then I tell them what to do,” he came-up to me outside Miami City Hall and said to me, “You f…k little people we are going to crush you,” he intoned and he would later die a few months later. And a number of people suggested that I might have killed him even though he died from a septal defect.
OBITUARY
The nation has lost a special man with the passing of Gen. Colin Powell, 84, last week. The man, a warrior and diplomat, was the first African American Sec. of State and chair of the joint chiefs of staff and led in many ways by example. Years ago, when there was talk of him running for president, I considered trying to join the campaign, but he deferred at the time.
And I might have run into him at GWU where he earned a M.B.A., while I was there studying Chinese at the Sino-Soviet Institute. I had many officers in my classes though most were colonels. He established the Powell Doctrine which was a last resort for the Vietnam veteran and to use overwhelming force and have an exit strategy. His record was only blemished when he spoke to the United Nation’s believing wrong that Iraq possessed WMD’s, and he later regretted that claim. Gen Powell may you rest in peace for you made a major contribution to the nation and love of country….

>>> The Watchdog Report is back, and readers should stay tuned as your government tries to spend your tax dollars efficiently, but taxpayers need to be vigilant for public dollars are precious and few and must be spent wisely. And on May 5th the Watchdog Report celebrated its 21st Anniversary and consider financially helping me have another year of watching your public institutions.
Further, I have a touch of the Delta virus, sniffles, low grade fever, fatigue, and lack of taste and smell and getting vaccinated must be South Florida’s goal to end this terrible scourge that is hammering our healthcare systems. Further, young people who liken COVID-19 to getting the flu had better check out what long haulers go through may not resolve itself. I know because I am one of those people with long term impacts and it is not pleasant and while the vaccine mitigates the severity residents must get vaccinated if we are ever getting back to normal. Here are two links on the consequences of covid in the long run and it is not pleasant and more medical studies are ongoing.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects.html
Further, I am doing an investigative story on my time in a nursing home and later an assisted living facility(that state legislators need to look into this before they become patients because it is a flip of the coin in some cases, and what I observed during the month-long time I lived at these two institutions will be written about including medical staff qualifications, that varied in a variety of ways and I am just glad to have left them before anything negative happened to me while I was there. Both places were for profit and that was very apparent.
Update: During my month at a nursing home in Kendall I noticed a number of things. One was a food receipt on the food tray but not the food, but probable still billed to Medicare. And at an assisted living facility in Broward. I was being treated by people with unknown medical credentials. Further, since February when I had a mild case of COVID, I have rarely gotten a deep sound sleep, which was rare for me.

ARGUS REPORT – Heard, Seen on the Street
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY Public Schools
>>> School Board Tuesday holds redistricting workshop, WDR was the only media at the public event not televised, draft maps drawn by Moreno and Ilcheva, from FIU, public gets to see them in November at public meetings
“Politics is local,” and that activity is never more so than redistricting after the 2020 Census. And on Tuesday the Miami-Dade County school board had a redistricting workshop in the school board chamber’s and was not televised and only I attended from the media at the board’s downtown location. The draft district maps were created by two redistricting consultants. Dario Moreno & Maria Ilcheva, both FIU redistricting consultants, and associate former county employee Guillermo Olmedillo, and the board’s attorney Walter Harvey, III, arranged for every decade required meeting after the census and is similar to how Miami-Dade County commissioners do their own much larger commission districts, under the guidance of their attorney’s office. Here is a link to the new nine district maps: http://redistricting.dadeschools.net/
Some board members had concerns and Dr. Marta Perez said she was unhappy with the Westchester area being split. Moreno noted it was split in the congressional map. Further the draft maps will be presented to the public for review in November and these meetings will be held in convenient locations. Over all the districts do not change that much when it comes to schools being located in the draft maps.
Anything odd happen to me?
I went into the board’s media room that is currently acting as a storage closet to work at the desk and a man followed me in and I explained who I was and he went to call Daisey Gonzalez the PIO for the district, but it would be nice to get the press room back, and the staffer was what I consider a standard issue public school employee with a dash of attitude.
Back in 2010, I attended the county’s redistricting meetings held in the 2nd floor commission conference room, and they had very spirited discussions, and Olmedillo also drew the maps back then for the 13 county commission districts that are much larger population than the school board districts.
Miami makes first move to criminalize being homeless with Carollo ordinance, item deferred this past week after objections of homeless activists, Carollo asks objectors to adopt a homeless person since so passionate for humane treatment of the homeless
Miami passed Thursday a first reading ordinance that will criminalize homeless that will not accept a shelter bed and blocks a pathway or an encampment. and if passed is of concern to homeless providers like the county’s homeless trust and its director Vickey Mallette has warned the commission that there is a potential it could impact the HUD funds, drawdown some $65 million granted by the federal agency that believes the trust is a national model with its commitment to a continuum of care. But has Carollo calling the homeless services a “business,” and given the amount of money spent $7 million. He said, “he was willing to buy a hotel or two,” saying the city has lots of land.
Miami staff also did a presentation on the city’s new homeless services and objectives which is to “provide a safe environment for these people in the shelters that usually have a boss in the population and is considered not safe. Carollo (net worth $1.7 million and owes Capital bank $292,565). Once told the media after his divorce in 2001 that “he was worth more dead than alive.” But like a phoenix he has financially bounced back that includes a house in Coconut Grove that has an estimated worth of $2.0 million. The man has also found a homeless ally in commissioner Manolo Reyes who also objects to these people sleeping on the street. This item is coming back this Thursday with Carollo asking residents to adopt a homeless person, though he tells the media he is not one of those people.
>>> PHT introduces 21-22 $8.6 billion budget, negotiated new labor agreement with SEIU 1919 employee union, costing $32 million, “significant outflow of nurses respiratory therapist,” trust in black for 21-years. “conservative,” budget that has “wiggle room,” over the next two budget cycles and needed adjustments given a less intensive COVID-19 caseload, “births high volumes, normal births, “says CFO Knight.
The Public Health trust unveiled its 21-22 $1.8 billion budget and has concluded a union labor contract that is fair to the public organization’s 13,000 employees especially in the competitive market for nurses and respiratory therapist. The budget was passed at the 2nd county’s budget hearing in September.
The trust has seen a “significant outflow of nurses and respiratory therapist,” said CFO Mark Knight at Tuesday’s public meeting in the commission chambers at government center and was televised with no public speakers during the public comment period. And shows the depth of the trust’s management team under CEO Carlos Migoya at his 11th year rung overseeing the heath care institution after years in banking before. He has great hiring skills and has built a formable team. The proposed budget will be wrapped in the county’s first public budget meeting Sept.14. The public hospital has also benefitted from a $830 million bond that “ has $2.2 billion of that spent,” said Knight.
He noted nurses are getting $200.000 a hour in the competitive healthcare Environment, dealing with COVID-19 and its drain on all of healthcare systems. However, within the $8.6 billion is $500 million in sales tax revenues, from the half-cent sales tax passed years ago.
>>> Miami public meetings are becoming COVID-19 super spreaders no masks, city staff, everywhere very casual with public health protocols, Noriega and mayor Suarez must tighten up staff adherence to rules, still happening in a massive way Thursday few wore masks and being dangerous to others including one Grove activist Kathy Suarez
Further, there is a widespread misperception that if one is vaccinated, they don’t have to wear masks not realizing the virus can be spread and I see this at many restaurants and actually left one because of the poor public health measures
>>> Miami meetings are super spreaders, no masks casual attitude?
City of Miami public meetings from Miami 21 task force to unsafe structures has chaos and confusion no masks worn in commission chambers. I went to two public meetings just because they were not up to standard. Here’s a national story on why I do this:
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2003-01-20-0301190341-story.html
Will city of Miami public meetings become Covid super spreaders, staff few masks, others none in audience Bld. Director Rene Diaz, no mask and he acts like he is in his living room. Further at these public meetings there are no name cards on the dais, and you are unable to match a face with a board members name.
>>>New Fraud in South Florida immigration attorney fraud, scam payment for non- services, threaten scammed with INS reporting, says county’s Hispanic affairs Bd. Chair
Miami-Dade has a new immigration fraud that is causing fear in the undocumented community, was discussed at the county’s Hispanic advisory bord meeting and given the confusion in what a attorney’s name means in different South American countries. The residents trying to change their INS status are going to these bogus non- U.S. attorneys and when they pay, and nothing is accomplished. They are threatened to then be turned into the INS and apparently, it’s much more widespread, than the community realizes, said the committee chair.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
City of Miami
What about the media fortress at Miami City Hall?
Police are stopping public during press conferences, not a good sign, for insecure mayor Suarez, having security since childhood after his father elected mayor and has beefed-up that personal protection, others can only dream about early voting has begun
>>> what about Suarez a prodigious fundraiser $6 million through July, says he is not selling out, but public may differ with such a large amount, not a profile in courage, discretion better part of valor, re police chief controversy, puts onus on manager
Mayor Francis Suarez who uses the tag line on campaign pieces paid by the PAC Miami Good government Initiative similar to a good government program for newly elected officials and the mayor,43 went through the program years ago that was run by former county commissioner Katy Sorensen.
The attorney, also a showman and super salesman of Miami has raked in $6 million through July 31 for his campaign and the large amounts from the tech industry and other industries donated to his campaign has people wondering if the mayor even understands how this windfall of cash looks. Since as a small child in Miami where his father Xavier was the first Cuban mayor and his son a young prince who skated through a number of issues including why he left Belen Academy and transferred to La Salle. All of this is more important if he plans to seek higher office and even on a national level for, he has been sheltered and given a break all his life.
Further, when it comes to a profile in courage he has taken a pass telling the media discretion is the better part of valor, and wants the manager, Art Noriega to sort out the future of his hand selected high profile chief Art Acevedo under withering criticism and has caught the ire of commissioner Joe Carollo who has made wild accusations against the chief and he fired back with a public 8-page memo accusing the commission of trying to interfere with police activities contrary to the city’s charter.
>>> Civil service board upholds firing of whistle blower Nicholson, who claimed Miami Commissioner Alex De La Portilla “poked,” her and made her step back hurting her ankle, after dueling attorney’s battle it out suggesting camera video was tampered with, board votes to “exonerate everyone involved,” upholding the termination of Nicholson, by manager Noriega, says chair Sutton
A whistle blowers case filed by Suzzanne Nicholson was heard a while ago at the Miami civil service board and the hearing was dueling attorneys, with attorney Mathew Baldwin, a former state attorney and city of Miami attorney Victoria Menendez, who called the aggressive attorney “rude” during a number of sharp exchanges between the two. The plaintiff is a city code enforcement officer for many years.
However, one night checking a bar after the curfew she ran into Miami Commissioner Alex De La Portilla who identified himself to her. She claims he then “poked,” her and it resulted in her hurting her ankle. The commissioner says he did no such thing, and the women is looking for disability judgement he believes.
However, Nicholson has fought the issue in the press, never filed a complaint and she did not show-up for a meeting with the city’s hr. department that resulted in the manager Art Noriega firing her. She did pass two lie detector tests said her attorney, Baldwin. The board’s chair Troy Sutton said he has heard enough and made the motion that “everyone involved with this issue should be exonerated,” said Sutton.
City of Miami Beach
>>> Voters will be asked if hotels, restaurants, should take part in the food & beverage tax, funding homeless trust & domestic violence agency, $5 million passed by county BCC for purchase of new residence building, for homeless, many more involve families not one to one
Beach Commissioners recently decided that the body would put on the Nov. Ballot whether the city should request the Florida legislature to remove the exception of the city to the food and beverage tax paid by tourists and funds the homeless trust and domestic violence facilities for the county.
The added revenue if the Beach hotels participated would be considerable and both the homeless trust and the DVB need extra money and the homeless trust recently got $5million for a permanent shelter for the organization from the county weeks agio and the trust needs another $1.3 million or more to refurbish the facility and with buildings being condemned a new influx of families are coming to the maxed out homeless trust.
>>> Could undersea internet cables become a new strategic threat to nation’s security? China laying them throughout the world, says Cyber Command Dr. Gen. Paul Nakasone, at congressional hearing Monday.
With all the cyber-attacks hitting abroad swath of industries and public infrastructure the U.S. is beefing up its capabilities, but at a congressional hearing Monday the Dir. Gen. Paul Nakasone said the command regarding IT relies on contractors and the federal government must compete for this talent with private industry and the house committee hearing even suggested is their n need for a new service academy focused on IT?
Nakasone said, “Cyber Command,” has “6,000, linguists,” and languages include “Chinese, Russian, and Arabic,’ he testified.
However, a new challenge facing the nation is undersea internet cables that could be used by an adversary for the internet if the Chinese potentially disabled the nations satellites. For more go to: https://jsis.washington.edu/eacenter/2017/02/06/cybersecurity-implications-chinese-undersea-cable-investment/
>>> PAST WDR: ID theft trajectory off the charts, community exports some of these frauds around the nation, says U.S. Atty. Ferrer, in the past
U.S. Atty Wilfredo Ferrer and his agents have busted again a large identity theft network stealing people’s social security numbers and it is a booming fraud industry in South Florida and people even have Tupper wear recruitment like parties where people from doctors’ offices and other health care providers pay the people up to $1,000. For each patient file and these thieves once they get this information are stealing at average from 193 people or 1000,000 residents state’s The Miami Herald http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article10909865.html and here is another story on the widespread scam http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article17932964.html that has other U.S.
U.S. ATTY’s from around the nation contacting Ferrer’s office after people from Miami pop up around the United States and we actually “export this fraud,” around the nation,: and the issue has been extensively reported in past Watchdog Reports since around 2003 and over those years only Medicare Fraud has eclipsed most of the other scams that included mortgage fraud, another high volume local fraud and Miami persistently ranks number one around the nation in these destructive scams that morph so quickly that federal authorities can barely keep up with the scams and is why South Florida has such a high number of the nation’s FBI Special Agents and two details of the federal agents are assigned to the Medicaid Fraud Task Force that was started back in 2003.
FLORIDA
>>> With 2020 Census results, Orlando likely picks up new congressional district map drawn-up by republican controlled legislature
With the 25020 census numbers released Thursday south Florida will not pick up one congressional seat likely in Orlando. That seats district will be drawn by the Florida legislature dominated by republicans.
>>> Circuit Court Judge Michael Hanzman presiding over the litigation of the Champlain towers collapse is in the spotlight this week., jurist net worth for last year was $29 million, up from year before $28 million net state ethics commission documents and IRS 1040
What do we know about his finances?
Hanzman’s disclosures were benign, and he includes his IRS 1040 which is the gold standard re transparency, and he wants to give those affected by the Champlain Tower disaster what the property owners and deceased deserve financially since the property has some $150 million in value but there are conflicting opinions on what should be on the site. Hanzman is also a University of Florida law graduate. And has worked at various law firms before his election to the bench.
