Argus Report: heard Seen on the street:
>>> A skeptical community yawned when Supt. Carvalho, pledged to reach a 90 percent graduation rate 11-years ago, now 90.1; Board Chair Hantman, disturbed by “incident, last month at board meeting, she said Wednesday. She was told “she had to evacuate,” with police at board office’s. Further, will nine-member board get security for public meetings?
A skeptical community groused that there was no way the new public schools superintendent Alberto Carvalho could increase student graduation rates in the 90’s after prior years in the 70’s for decades after Dr. Rudy Crew was fired and Carvalho was appointed to the position in 2008 when the district had only $7 million cash on hand for the nations 4th largest public schools district with now a $4.6 billion budget.
The man punched a hole in the sky after focusing on teachers and support staff on each student. Things he learned as an immigrant who was once homeless and was the first to graduate from college in his family from Portugal. He punched a hole in the sky with his administration and this may be the golden years of the public district flourishing, after the Great Recession that hammered public funding with property tax revenue falling and students failing. Here are years of past rates: https://data.tallahassee.com/school/adjusted-graduation-rate/dade/
>> Posse program had 130 recipients, 90 graduation rate, Carvalho tells school board
Carvalho was a principal at I-Prep (also a magnet school), and he taught classes. He also was a big supporter of the Posse Foundation. An organization that 10,000 scholars and students have been involved with the program. That this year had 130 Posse recipients, Carvalho told the board months ago and had a 90 percent college graduation rate, he said. The students had received $130 million in scholarships he said this past year.

>>>With the multiple hacks last year cyber security is said to be one of the greatest risks in 2022 from a variety of infrastructure intrusions.
A senior IT maven and special agent of the F.B.I., years ago told the Greater Miami Chamber luncheon. If “you think you have not been hacked, you just don’t know about it yet,” he stressed. And the bureau has a cyber academy that a variety of organizations can apply too. Further, since this week is Hack Week, Miami. I hope companies are looking for gifted hackers to play defense as the adversaries are global in nature, and congress is debating creating a new academy specifically for IT defense and training and here is the webpage:Cyber Academy Focuses on Private Sector Partnerships — FBI
The Miami-Dade County Commission
>>> creation of sheriff’s office should ban outside income, Broward sheriff Jenne convicted of tax fraud, with outside income
The commission has to introduce legislation for a variety of newly countywide elected offices including sheriff, now currently under the county mayor’s portfolio. My concern is there needs to be a clause limiting the candidate from any outside income given the 41,000 officer regional police force.
>>> With Omicron surge, South Florida healthcare systems
After turning 70, last year I have been very lucky to reach that landmark after last year living in a nursing home and later an assisted living facility. And with the nation in the grip of omicron.
South Florida’s many healthcare systems are bracing for another surge, with the schools opening, and these healthcare professionals are exhausted and getting vaccinated is the only savior as many people put, off diagnostic and elective procedures.
With Floridians exhausted as we enter the third year, we know much more than we did last January when I got COVID-19,and have suffered from long covid, young people, say they don’t know what to expect and are pessimistic what the future will bring as the nation tries to re-open and function smoothly as inflation rears its ugly head. If you grew up in 1974-76 the mantra was Whip Inflation Now (WIN).But residents need to work together to end this scourge That has swept the globe. Further with the new year a number of young people expressed real concern of what this year might bring given the last two-years of COVID.
What about a new public schools’ superintendent?
>>> The nine-member school board will do a national search but one potential jewel in education in South Florida might be Dr. Lenore Rodicio who was a finalist for M-D College president and has experience running a district this size. However, she was criticized. For not being political savvy with the state legislature.
>>> South Florida is losing two miracle workers public schools, Supt. Carvalho & JHS CEO Migoya next year. Both through county bonds transformed public schools and healthcare facilities on time and on budget with Jackson West and Christy Lynn rehabilitation center prime examples, of public expansion of healthcare, OMICRON surge testing all systems, exhausted medical professionals, get vaccinated only way to minimize hospitalizations and death with 460,000 total cases nationwide
South Florida is losing two miracle workers Supt. Alberto Carvalho and at JHS CEO Carlos Migoya and both men were transformational one in education the other public healthcare at a system that was close to bankruptcy before there leadership. The public schools district had seven days of cash when Carvalho took the reins after the Great Recession, and he cut underperforming principals and directed early money only to student and performing educators. Migoya working with the unions collaborated to save the public health system(known as a place patients go to die) because of ageing medical system with an affiliation with the UM medical school since 1951. He also along with Carvalho was able to get county voters to approve a referendum for hundreds of millions in general obligation bonds to improve the schools and the healthcare systems outdated facilities and Jackson West hospital is a superb example of the new facilities the bond money funded along with the half-cent sales tax dedicated to health system. Both men had earned the support of the community and confidence after years before of scandals that embarrassed local state lawmakers. But they survived the political interference at all levels and that is what is needed in their successor.
In Migoya’s case his succession planning is naming his number two Don Steigman. The new president of Jackson Health System (JHS) and CEO Migoya will leave in June next year after county commissioner Sally Heyman negotiated a one-year extension of his contract for another year in June earlier this year. And hopefully the new leadership will continue the progress JHS has made since his appointment in 2009. After Migoya quite as Miami city manager and the banker was a long shot that paid off for the community especially with the pandemic that has 92 percent of JHS patients presenting with COVID and now the more infectious variant OMICRON . And Baptist Health South Florida is also seeing a surge of patients to the tune of 30 percent of COVID admissions being reported in the media.

>>> Outside employment for county and municipal employees, commission on ethics
Ordinance unedited: Board at Clerk.Board@miamidade.gov. Municipal employees Municipal employees must follow Municipal ordinances and procedures regarding permission to engage in outside employment. D) DISCLOSURE OF INCOME EARNED IN OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT VS. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Full-time County and Municipal employees who engaged in any outside employment during the preceding year for any person, firm, corporation, or entity other than Miami-Dade County or their respective Municipality must file a statement that disclosing the total amount of money received/earned by the employee for that outside employment. Miami-Dade Code § 2-11.1(k)(2). If the outside employment is with a business owned by an employee, report all of the money received by the business, not the profit or loss. For example, if the business received/earned $20,000 and the total expenses of the business were $20,500, the amount to be disclosed on the Outside Employment disclosure would be the $20,000 received/earned. The disclosure of the money or compensation received from outside employment is filed on an Outside Employment Statement. Full-time County employees file the Outside Employment Statement with the County Elections Department by July 1st of each year.1 Full-time Municipal employees must file the Outside Employment Statement annually with their respective Municipal Clerks. Please note that filing an Outside Employment Statement is separate from financial disclosure under State statutes and County ordinances. Depending on the circumstances, a County or Municipal employee may have to file both an Outside Employment Statement and either a County Source of Income Statement or State Form 1. Employees who are required to file a financial disclosure form (County Source of Income Statement or State Form 1) should note that their outside employment must also be disclosed on these forms. E)- CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT The following factors may be indicative of potential conflicts between an employee’s
>>> Homeless trust bracing for surge in “senior citizens,” a major need for more rental stock
The Miami-Dade Homeless Trust Friday had their monthly board meeting and are bracing for a wave of elderly losing housing because of the virus and the trust needing rentals given “one third,” of the “population are senior citizens, “said trust staff.
This also could get worse in the City of Miami, where the city’s unsafe structure board has to review buildings safety and the city has many deficient buildings that could add the homeless population.
I am still dealing with IT issues but you can read the WDR on line at www.watchdogreport.net and I am still covering meetings including redistricting at the school board Wednesday and the city of Miami a few weeks ago and has commission District-2 facing the most shift given the exploding population on Brickell.
>>>> Miami elections a “mandate,” for mayor and commissioners, says Diaz de la Portilla & King defeating incumbent Watson, Is WDR being blocked(not true my computer attacked, waiting for supporters donated new one ordered); Clerk Hannon just reappointed along with Attorney Menendez
At Thursday’s Miami commission meeting elected leaders reveled on their victories and while Mayor Francis Suarez prevailed against no real opposition.
Miami residents Thursday at the commission meeting got his muse Eddy Leal, Esq. to do the proclamations again and he is a paid muse $110,000 for Suarez. Leal representing the mayor also honored the national “Miami Shield Team,” and was an offshoot of the 2004 “Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism,” held at the Intercontinental Hotel. The national Shield meeting was held in October in Miami.
Leal also gave a proclamation for a foster home organization not listed on the agenda, but she noted there are16,000 foster kids in Miami-Dade County. A representative said and Miami has 755 foster families and given its National Adoption Day proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan. She noted the county has placed 4,000 kids in foster families recently from age 1-18 years, she said.
Bakehouse Art Complex turns 35-years a cultural jewel for aspiring artists
The Bakehouse an artist space is celebrating its 35th Anniversary and the low-cost artist space shows the “transformational power of art,” said a representative on the dais .
What about the Miami redistricting team Former Fla. Leg? Miguel De Grandy and Steve Codey presented to commissioners’ questions how to draw the new five district maps for commissioners where deviation oof residents can be no higher than 10 percent.
MIAMI_DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
>>> THE WDR believes there is no clone for Carvalho as he heads west to L.A., community trust no easy thing to earn, says Sayonara Feb.3,oversight of bond projects a top priority, that he kept on-time and on budget for the bulk of projects
With doubt being put on the search for a new superintendent for the nation’s fourth largest public schools that teaches ESOL to some 800 students and with just under 400 schools the diverse district with 350,000 students is not an easy challenge that 11-year Supt. Albert Carvalho was able to navigate as well as the school board’s politics and includes two new members.
Carvalo came from Portugal and was once homeless and was the first in his family to get a degree in chemistry. The man was a familiar face in the media and attended every child killed by gunfire and still taught classes at I-Prep school next to the main administration building. The man brought a certain intensity that made people believe in him over the years something difficult to replicate and a teacher being appointed could be in the cards. However, charisma is elusive and you either have it or you don’t. He had it in spades and worked well with most politicos in the capital except in COVID response regulations and was a thorn in the governor’s side. I was thinking if Dr. Lenore Rodicio might be a possibility after being overlooked for new M-D College president Madeline Pumariega and is being hailed in the community coming from Hialeah. However, her education credentials are nowhere spelled out even on the schools web page and to read her bio go to: President Madeline Pumariega | Office of the President | Miami Dade College (mdc.edu)
Rodicio however has gotten a great job at the Gates foundation, see: https://liveaparklife.org/about/leadership/lenore-rodicio/ and the chance in finding another Carvalho is very remote and I will be watching closely in the future having gone through this process in the past, when then Dr. Rudy Crew was chosen and was later terminated by the board.
>>> Cyber-attacks continue against WDR, will History Miami become tech vault for many south Florida bloggers with tons of internal info in digital form, historical shame if data is lost
You did not get a WDR last week because I was again cyber attacked despite decent security and they wiped out some recent info though most from the past was back upped. After this I had an idea that should appeal to History Miami, though much is still on the web page www.watchdogreport.net . The museum should consider having a digital archive of many of the bloggers in South Florida. For many have a huge number of emails on a variety of topics on what internally is happening in many of the public institutions and can be used by historians in the future after many of the schemes tried or suggested by governments, have gone bad.
>>>> CITY OF MIAMI: Mayor Suarez through fiscal intimidation wins reelection but will he be able to get anything done with Nemesis Carollo winning another term with 64 percent of the vote in low turnout elections coming in at 17 percent countywide
The bloodbath is over, Mayor Francis Suarez is reelected with 78.61 percent of the citywide vote against marginal challengers and for many he just ran again as a formality after scaring off any potential challenger with his obscene $6 million campaign war chest and continues the trend countywide of dissuading people running and used many times in judicial races to elect our communities’ jurists. Suarez hoping for higher office needs to develop leadership skills and temperament. He blames any criticism of his administration as the fault of the “media.” Something that, won’t fly in a higher office quest that includes the mayor having a television studio at city hall, and not getting the respect of the commissioners after numerous blunders and had a no-bid marina development issue on the ballot that failed, and the man is a political avatar. And it will be only in the future the residents see the results of many of his initiatives that have involved federal bailout money to keep the city solvent. Further the family man lists no income since the city’s disclosure forms are so vague in the requirements and this applies to all the commissioners financial disclosure forms not even there city salaries and opens up a Pandora’s box when it comes to good ,transparent government as mayor who just got back from Glasgow Scotland tools around in a upscale Ford Explorer platinum model and shows re attempt to demonstrate himself as a eco warrior. That is something others have to spearhead.
Miami-Dade County
>>> Cruelty to animals now includes dogs fighting to death in car trunks, county stiffens animal abuse ordinance, another only in Miami horror
Miami-Dade County commission strengthened the ordinance recently involving animal cruelty similar to state statutes, said sponsor Danielle Cohen Higgins. Many people know that cock fighting is common in parts of Miami Dade, but apparently a new sport has emerged and we have crossed a line in South Florida when people put dogs in car trunks to fight to the death and these cruel events are sometimes hard to stomp out but this was the first time I heard of dogs fighting in trunks versus empty pools. And the ordinance that includes Peafowls are also included, said commissioner Raguel Regalado, supporting the legislation.
>>> 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 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.
PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST
>>> 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.
EDITORIAL
Another month has passed today for the WDR, I had no idea back in May 2000,that I would still be doing this. Since I just wanted to get rid of Miami commissioner J.L Plummer, who lost back then
>>> This is the first Vol. 22 No.06 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 did not 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 Hospital 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 Dr. Jorge Rabaza 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,(now deceased) in office 29-years had a hand in it when at the dais he would be a proud Florida cracker and say, “I hate “everyone, the Jews, the Krauts Spics and others,” all the same and then cackle .” And then his political people Phil Hammersmith said in public “I get them elected then I tell them what to do,” Back then he came-up to me outside Miami City Hall and he said to me, “You f…k little people were 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.
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH: Voters will be asked if hotels, restaurants, should take part in the food & beverage tax, for funding county’s homeless trust & domestic violence agency passes, $5 million passed by county BCC for purchase of new residence building, for homeless trust, many, involve families not one to one, Ocean Beach hit with another murder of innocent tourist family father

>>> 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.
COVID ‘Long Haulers’: Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 | Johns Hopkins Medicine:
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.
