Fighters Support Donna Milo for District 2
(TheCrespoGramReport.com)
The City of Miami Firefighters Local IAFF 587, announced their support
of Donna Milo in her campaign against District 2 Miami City
Commissioner Marc Sarnoff.
There are some who had speculated that the firefighters would support
Kate Callahan, but Robert Suarez, President of the union indicated that
they had decided to support Milo because they felt she had the best
chance of winning.
The firefighters had the Mason-Dixon Polling company do a poll of the
District in August that showed that 55% of those polled would support
someone other than Sarnoff. Milo also led the other contenders in name
recognition and in a head to head contest against Sarnoff.
Milo who ran for Congress last year, has demonstrated both a clear
grasp of the issues facing the voters of District 2, and the practical
campaign skills needed to wage a winning campaign against Sarnoff.
While the firefighters do not bring a lot of money to a campaign, they
do bring significant political experience and resources, the most
important being feet on the ground, as they demonstrated when they
helped Sarnoff get elected in 2006.
This time out, the firefighters, who like many others are tired of Marc
Sarnoff and his antics, have decided that he has worn his welcome out
in the City of Miami.

We publicly announce our
support for Donna Milo in the race for City Commission District 2. We
believe that Ms. Milo has demonstrated the ability to uphold our
principles as Republicans, and we believe she will be a strong advocate
for the LGBT Community in City Hall.
As a business owner, Ms. Milo
has a keen sense of the needs of small businesses. We trust she will
use her experience to foster a healthy environment for business
development in Miami, and we know that experience will guide Ms. Milo
towards prudent decision-making in matters of fiscal management.

Donna Milo at TMBC: ‘Cronyism is at the Core of all
Evils’
(Sunpost Weekly)
With what everyone hopes is a Miami poised on the brink of real return,
with the resurgence of the real estate market and red-hot entertainment
venues, Milo is a candidate questioning the stewardship of the City.
“The ship is not being steered with good leadership. We need
to root out some of the corruption and cronyism. As a small business
owner, I can bring some of my common sense to District 2 and to the
City of Miami,” she offered before opening the floor up for
questions.
