WATCHDOG REPORT
Miami-Dade, Fla.
Vol. 25 No. 39, March 8, 2026, Celebrating May 5th, 2000: 25-years of free weekly publishing! www.watchdogreport.net & Daniel A. Ricker: Editor-in Chief: Former Miami Herald featured, news reporter & free: 25-years weekly community education resource & news service, without the attitude, I will return next week, trying to raise money, thought the webpage with past,
ARGUS REPORT: HEARD SEEN ON THE STREET
>>> No money came in last week, no longer have Knight Foundation support sadly. Can you help? ON Monday this will be on line at www.watchdogreport.net in a better format
Tuesday the Miami-Dade County commission honored the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), and the for profits Level I trauma centers, in Kendall and throughout the county. These hospitals have bled off funding from Jackson’s world class Ryder Trauma Center.
What is ironic about this?
The county’s public hospital has the outstanding Ryder Trauma Center, that has been losing money because of these new trauma centers that are getting car crashes, where $10,000 in compensation is available versus Ryder that sees gunshot wounds where no compensation is available.
Ryder part of Jackson Health system is opening in April a new $400,000 million state of the art emergency room replacing the old aged one that was a throwback to decades past and a nightmare for patients.
>>> WDR; on line for another year, after this housing crisis I am having and for first time, question why I decided to step up, and try to help the community be more honest and transparent in public institutions, and not benefit from having such early knowledge, as so many have.
I found a small cottage but motels are not cheap and many are booked and at one point I was almost homeless, but thankfully a room opened up and even contacted the chair of the homeless trust rather than sleep in my car, and people don’t realize the mental toll of such circumstances and no new money came in and renting in Miami is like a mortgage application tough when you are living in a cold motel room with the computer on a bed writing.
There is no one in Miami with the WDR, historical knowledge, and the abuse keeps on going with even the county’s inspector general office under attack, after the first Christopher Mazzella, setting the gold standard for the office and was left alone to do his job that now includes the 3rd largest public school district, and needs the oversight. Further, while things are difficult PayPal is an easy way to support keeping the WDR out there.
>>> With the retirement of CEO Carlos Migoya. June 1, and David Zambrana, with two doctorates, after being a trauma nurse 35-years and he is expected to follow in the success of the largest public hospital in the NW United States. Migoya brought credibility to the institution almost in bankruptcy and needing hundreds of millions in upgrades that had the institution struggling to survive and only 7 days of cash on hand when he took over. The man a former banker worked with the unions and has made the facilities some of the best of any public institutions in the nation partially because of ending county commissioners meddling in its operation. He successful got countywide approval for a $840 million GOB, that expanded the health facilities throughout the county with projects on time a budget.
However, on Sunday I am homeless and will be in a low-cost hotel, while trying to find an affordable apartment. I have been looking diligently
When I came in 1975, to Miami with pacemaker Cordis Corp, with 3,800 employees many Cuban workers. Pacemakers were the size of a hockey puck, with a three-year life, and there was even a nuclear pacemaker (mostly sold in Palm Springs, Ca.), but kept patients’ hearts beating and pacemakers, were considered one of, the great medical inventions of the 20th Century, versus physicians telling patients “It’s your ticker, get your affairs in order,” and the patients would die in their sleep from a complete heart block, or bradycardia.
Further, my parents sponsored some Cubans they met on a family trip to Varadero Beach in 1957, and one was a physician Dr. Martinez, that county Commissioner Javier Souto knew after he bought me lunch at government center, when I was hungry and just starting in 2000.
Former Mayor Francis Suarez, giving Rolex’s to his past sergeant of arms, is consistent to his two terms as mayor. He has never followed the ethics rules in his two terms as mayor. The man made a fortune as mayor with many undisclosed clients including Fischer Island, and the watch gifts are consistent, with someone, who wants to keep his past actions under the radar, during his term. The question with the watches did the taxpayers pay for the expensive pieces, which given Suarez’s history is probable the case.
>>> The Warehouse in Miami is a real art lovers treat: https://www.margulieswarehouse.com/attachment/en/5e14ec99a5aa2c4d308b4567/News/6734bcf5b7d31c21460df697
>>> Quality Control in government is a non-existent sight with the roadways the glaring example, throughout Miami-Dade. Residents wonder why road repair jobs make the roads worse than they were before, and shoddy work doesn’t have any ramifications, for the contractors.
One company decades ago Church &Tower, (now MasTec, and brothers building new Freedom Park stadium) was disbarred, for shoddy work. For more go to: https://progresoweekly.us/blackballed-mastec-still-does-plenty-of-business-with-county/
And the community memory fades way to fast, as the many scandals go away in years ahead and a weaker IG and weaker ethics commission.
Drivers pay a lot of taxes, and these companies if dealing with county a little slack is allowed and many times built in. However, the roads are a giant blinking light of discontent, of the county Not delivering excellence every day, its tag line almost humorous, excluding police & fire men all dangerous jobs.
What about county mayor Levine Cava, but her close lobbyist’s, connections, bothered me. For with ethics, actions are perception, and you can’t be a little bit pregnant, in the public’s eyes.
The WDR originally supporter Cava but the use of her campaign manager Christian Ulvert, a lobbyist who happened to be in Japan and Qatar, when the mayor delegation was there, was over the top and Cava doesn’t see this as a problem.
Further she is seeing a recall petition, that likely will go nowhere versus the one used to recall county mayor Carlos Alvarez, in 2011 but that was after the Great Recession, and a different time after he gave staffers raises. That intensity is not the same she was just reelected against a weak municipal mayor she hired as a staffer later.
And when it comes to salaries Coconut Grove Spotlight, did a great analysis: go toohttps://coconutgrovespotlight.com/2025/12/11/as-city-spending-soars-top-administrator-rakes-it-in/ https://coconutgrovespotlight.com/2025/12/11/as-city-spending-soars-top-administrator-rakes-it-in/ and it’s the pensions at these salary levels that is the real problem, and had the city bankrupt in1990s.
From a citizen journalist trying to stop corruption, waste, fraud abuse, and personally stopped almost $40 million in bad deals over the past 25-weekly years. Sadly, after a recent profile things have gotten only worse, and could lose phone, internet all terrifying. I live in a community where couples can have matching Ferraris’, and someone I respect but help is needed, and praying.
>>> Also lack of a new apartment, and maybe a new medical issue is a nightmare, after 25 years, and may end at hospital?
There will never be another WDR, because certain circumstances made me or someone have to do it since the corruption was so blatant, if you knew the players like I did,
And I want to thank again all those people that have supported my efforts over all those 25-years, to keep the community informed using the internet, free of charge.
You would have never known the WDR if a political operative Phil Hammersmith, hadn’t said to me in 1999, “You F…king little people were going to crush you,” he said to me, he would later die of a heart issue, soon after. That was a defining factor, after I thought there were a lot of things to say to me but that was over the top, he would say, I get them elected and then tell them what to do. People actually thought I had killed him.
OPINION
If Miami residents want to really change and end corruption, they must do it in a serious way and frankly dress conservatively and speak calmly, if they are to be listened too.
Also go to lower-level public meetings like the WDR did for so many years, and has continued via television, public meeting notices are on line, and people not speaking into microphones creates a dubious public record, that attorneys will challenge later.
What about all the past public employees becoming lobbyists? That and the socializing, with the electives…
Past county municipal employees are just the tip of the iceberg, usually directors or past state employees, and creates a clubby atmosphere.
What about outgoing mayor Francis Suarez?
Young Suarez, first came in as a commissioner, in 2013, with a $800,000 or so net worth, and he’s leaving roughly $7 million richer with a tony home in South Grove, and includes police security while mayor. The family man bristles when challenged, any ethics conflicts and given past mayors he was at least sane, but greedy, in the course of his time in office. For mor go to:https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-mayor-francis-suarez-made-nearly-5-million-while-in-office-40506745/ alley
>>> Suarez, during his time in office has become a millionaire, and was loose re freebees, and ethics conflicts etc., forget his running for the presidency, that crashed shortly after his announcement.
>>> The Coconut Grove Sailing Club’s lease with the city, is being discussed and the great organization has taught some 20,000, county public school students, in sailing program as well as Shake-A-Leg, and a love and respect for the water: The Miami Rowing Club, lease is also a gift to the community.
>>> And if any of my readers have a rental after 11-years in my current, home and needing to vacate before the holidays, I would appreciate a reference to a place thank you, Dan.
>>> Public schools audit committee, reviews 160 charters, 18 flagged, at Tuesday’s meeting
The MDC Schools, audit committee is meeting Tuesday and tax attorneys, and the board made up of CPAs, is the community firewall for responsible oversite, of the billions in public tax dollars. Sadly, decades ago the members were political appointees, and scandals were the order of the day. The districts 160 charter schools were examined and 18 were deemed to be of concern: and for more go: http://api.dadeschools.net/WMSFiles/23/pdfs/25-26/AC_December_9_2025/Agenda.pdf
Here’s the complete agenda.
http://api.dadeschools.net/WMSFiles/23/pdfs/25-26/AC_December_9_2025/Agenda.pdf
>>> Saying R.N., nurses are not professional and skilled nursing, is absurd and they fulfill a key role in the outstanding American medicine, and the federal Department of Education status change comes as a great nursing shortage is facing America, and is an insane change ask surgeons about their open heart “scrub nurse,” in the sterile field, being not professionals. Further, the FDA change of the Hep-b. Vaccination recommendations is shocking the medical world, with its lack of scientific basis and a real crisis at the federal agency, led sadly by RFK, Jr, with no medical training.
After all I wanted to do was create a public nervous system via the internet, for more informed public institutions. And learned if you have good people on boards, trusts or commissions, you have a chance for better government so elusive in colorful Miami, that tantalizes the nation with Stone Crab’s The Size of small children, great weather beaches etc.
>>> Further Baptist Health, and the health system is part of the healthcare constellation available to Miami residents and Baptist saved my life so I have a special interest in helping Baptist & Public JHS: for more go to https://baptisthealth.net/baptist-health-foundation
>>> And given the amount of medical research Miami, is a strong medical destination, now, most communities would beg for.
>>> Just because you do not take an interest in politics does not mean politics will not take an interest in you. –Pericles (430 B.C.)
>> To contribute to the WDR send and make it payable to Daniel A. Ricker, I can now transfer the PayPal money. Hopefully some $ help will come in.

Further, to have reached 25-years of WDR, not planned, but kept getting more popular, and established being called a “institution,” by CBS4 reporter Joan Murray, years ago, but the newsletter was becoming a trusted entity through the Knight Foundation for 25-years.
People forget Fernandez quite the DeSantis campaign, after hearing derogatory comments on immigrants from his staff. And the treatment of these law-abiding neighbors by ICE, lack of “due process,” is a stain on America, unseen ever before. Further, both have had threats like the WDR, over the years, which is unacceptable to us.

However, no one discussed Lopez’s checkered past and vacated federal felony conviction, and: she was later commuted by Clinton, but an eyebrow raises, after “honest services law,” modified. For more on Lopez on this go: https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/when-vicki-met-syl-6360715/

>>> Lobbyists Selfies with elected judges, state attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle (net worth 2024 $7.017million), makes for just one happy family and these new countywide celebrities should consider how all this social content appears to residents, not in a positive way. This, disregard of who your photographed with condones any of their possible past transgressions. And sullies both people’s reputation.
JHS trustee minutes: Infection prevention remained a major success area. The hospital achieved record-low infection rates for central line (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract (CAUTI), and C. difficile infections. Several quarters recorded zero infections, and the hospital maintained 365 consecutive days without a healthcare-associated infection, a milestone reflecting the system’s high reliability and consistent quality standards.
I am looking for work as a public oracle regarding all the public institutions and
>>> Further, I am eating fast food, and food donations for the first time. So, if you can help plus my having to move is another problem after someone reneged in supporting me in this emergency, of trying to keep the community informed of their public institutions and ICE, treatment of immigrants is stunning Americans who were told “The worst of the worst,” and ICE senior agents say the press doesn’t always get the full story as the department becomes the biggest federal law enforcement agency, and under Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem.
>>> Having lived overseas I always had my passport with me and in Japan I would be asked to see my working visa.
The administration continues flooding the zone, from ballrooms to a Gatsby party at Mar-A. Largo.
IF you can, I used $350,000 of my own money, a big mistake, as I got older and thought someone might have taken me out by then.
>>> I also want to thank JoAnn Bass of Joe’s Stone Crab for allowing me to eat free at the corner bar spot, for years, where I saw everyone come in, and could interview them. She was always very kind to me and her support check in 2009, allowed me to leave the hospital, with an external suction device after being septic.
One “Miami Beach older lady once told me I don’t care were corrupt, what bothered her was how cheap we were. And with all this money being spread around the look is not good

New Exhibitions to Open at the Warehouse
November 12, 2025 – April 4, 2026
MIAMI–The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse opens to the public this season with three exhibitions highlighting key moments of 20th Century art and photography history. https://www.margulieswarehouse.com/
Pop Art features sculpture and paintings from the 1960s through 1990s by Johns, Lichtenstein, Warhol, Wesselmann, Rosenquist, Chamberlain, and Segal. Records of the Past includes 60 photographs from the National Child Labor Committee by Lewis Hine. Additionally, this season we present an exhibition of Italian Art grounded in the 1960s movement Arte Povera where artists subverted traditional ways of making art by using ephemeral and “poor” materials. Our presentation of these art historically relevant exhibitions with contemporary art continues our founding mission to provide visitors with opportunities for active learning and direct engagement with the art.

>>> Army Corps of Engineers Director Captain Miller here: do you know U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R- Tampa? No, I said in a phone call suggested by Dr. Fran Bohnsack but a few days later.
I was at the Elephant Forum luncheon at the old downtown Sheraton, and Stanley J. Tate, (who would later become a special advisor to President George W. Bush and helped create The Florida College Prepaid program,) and had a black diplomatic passport. Tate, said he was playing golf with Young soon and I told him about the need for funding of the Miami River dredging, and through local U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-lehiten, R-Miami, Young got the funding request inserted and it was “included,” in the federal budget bill. After I saw this go through and it was completed and activated the river in property values to the city,
I did a few more side projects an enclosed dumpster pad at the Elementary school in the Grove with principal Dr. von Bebe, amazed since I took the problem to the Dir. Of construction who said it was wrong and a Ninja team did it in a few weeks, versus the six months Bebe had spent, with no luck.

>>> Since my profile in the Coconut Grove Spotlight, my life has only gotten worse since I have to move and am eating at Mc Donalds. Here’s the positive article of my past years work. https://coconutgrovespotlight.com/2025/04/14/still-barking-a-watchdog-at-25/ :
AND Here is a national story that ran in all the Tribune Paper’s and Maya Bell the reporterhttps://www.sun-sentinel.com/2003/01/20/i-go-when-you-cannot/ https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2003/01/20/i-go-when-you-cannot/ She spent a lot of time with me back then when the threats were coming in and my house was on police watch, so it would not be a public record, and safer for me as well as a columnist with The Miami Herald. These along with the internet were what I faced trying to bring competent, but good government to Miami public institutions, and JHS, as an uninsured person for five years back then.
This is almost what happened in 2000, after my debit card was scammed which happened Thursday, as well. But back then someone had to be a lobbyist for the citizens and I have never been arrested sued, or anything else and you had to be almost perfect as an Anglo in the changing Miami demographics, since coming in 1975, when I first came to Miami. After 25- weeks of yearly reports I am waiting to hear if support comes in. The things in the world are bad but local high-definition reporting is still important still important to have historical perspective with so many new peoples, here.

>>>Finally, some community leaders are banding together in a media buy to demand due process for the immigrant Miami community. The silence of our congressional delegation to the scenes of rough ICE agents arrests is shocking Americans’ told only, “The worst of the worst, that would be arrested with President Trump giving them federal immunity cover to continue in the present way, that the agents are almost seeming to enjoy it, that has picked up Americans not illegal immigrants, as the administration says.https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article312682193.html
The congressional delegation from U.S. Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Miami (net worth $2.22/in 2021, and all our delegation members are Cuban’s and refugees themselves and their silence regarding the intimidation tactics used by ICE, is showing their lack of “due process,” and the broad sweep with ICE becoming the largest federal department, in the nation and for many a scary development, via a national federal law enforcement branch https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/jul/11/jon-favreau/ICE-FBI-bill-Donald-Trump-largest/
>>> Regalado also told me that manager Art Noriega, had no interest or the commission in the county’s IG., being named versus a retired Miami major Antonio Diaz. He claims independent but friends and family plan ingrained in city employees.
Further, county commissioners be investigated by the independent sheriff’s public corruption division, and not the state FDLE.
The historic county court house put out to auction and is empty and some of the courtrooms at the Children’s Courthouse, are being used with many cases handled by Zoom meetings, Regalado said.

‘No King’s’ peaceful demonstrations around America were peaceful, creative as millions of citizens turned out, with the rough treatment of immigrants, being a key issue.
However, with the assault on the Constitution pundits recommend ‘the courts, people protest,” and “courage.” As the antidote to America’s democracy today. As the trump administration keeps pushing the boundaries and the past essentially Honor System, of governance and following the constitution.
>>> RFK, Jr. as Secretory of health &Human services, is a bridge to far. He may have a point re color additives but, he is not a scientist, engineer, or physician, and America better not have another outbreak like Covid, and his lack of knowledge, could hamper generations in the future. A man who had a brain worm removed has benefited from medical advances. But he is not a scientist or physicians and his refusal to listen to the scientific community, is dangerous to public health. (Don’t dare watch shows of his life the bear body in a park and whale incident, are just crazy entitled preppy behavior, given family tragedy), but concerning in this new role.
>>> I emphasize this because it is such a tragedy for America and our children, as he continues to make medical blunders, re autism & circumcision.
Americas medical advancements from stents to pacemakers, cutting edge, and his crusade on vaccines and incidents of smallpox rising a (highly contagious disease) once thought eradicated plus hepatitis B vaccination saving 20,000 patients said one US senator physician, in a hearing.
The attorney changing western medicine will go down in history as the destroyer of public health through acronyms. His role at the CDC with many scientists leaving after his odd wake-up call and shake-up. The man from a famous family has decided he’s a physician and God help the nation. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/covid-vaccine-costs-just-spiked-for-millions-thanks-to-rfk-jr/ar-AA1Lv007?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=0ddd9c0047a14bdd8dd4527847e5d628&ei=12
Further, having worked in the cardiac pacing world so advanced now knowing one of the driving forces Dr. Michel Mirowski, of the implantable defibrillator team at Johns Hopkins University, and driving a force in the team when other physicians laughed at the idea of shocking the heart, and the physician is a Holocaust survivor. Kennedy” questioning at the Senate makes him seem nuts, and disrespectable to the questioning senators.
>>> I should be dead if it were not for the surgical skill of Dr. Jorge Rabaza and technology, at South Miami hospital to heal me after becoming septic having waited too long since no health insurance.
Kennedy’s role at the CDC is almost a Dark Ages, philosophy from the past heroin addict that claims faith God has filled the tragic family’s history void he felt when using the narcotic now in charge of the nation’s health, for a change has physicians clamoring, for new scientific research before America gets in serious health problem after the big announcement about Tylenol and Autism….
However, medical advances like the COVID vaccination Operation Warp Speed, saved thousands of lives. Politics is one thing but science and medicine is based on validated research not wild rumors. And the CDC role globally cannot be underestimated. Having sold pacemakers in Japan because the Japanese medical industry wanted to take risk of Sony pacemaker killing a grandmother in a Japan, I am a Constitutionalist but this CDC issue is a disaster waiting to happen and physicians nationwide are calling for his resignation.
>>> Further, no help from my readers has come in. I know times are tough for all of us but if you can Thank you, I had to forgo a number of meals recently. Thankfully, I was able to transfer from my PayPal act. Another miracle keeps me going thank you readers Dan.
“Miami is the graduate school for fraud.” said Alex Acosta, while Miami U.S. Attorney, but we are losing some of our top fraud prosecutors.
The United Nations 80 years old, having its General Assembly soon and Americas Ambassador to the body is Mike Waltz, a former Green Beret Officer national security adviser who got caught up in Single gate, scandal months earlier.
>>> President Trump’s speech was odd after he called many countries a derogatory name and said Climate Change was a “hoax.”
The firing of comedians after pressure from President Trump is staggering and is a direct threat on the First Amendment. Thankfully Jimmy Kimmel was brought back after a major backlash.
However, a new conspiracy has emerged after doctors said there was no exit wound on Kirk shot with a .30-06 bullet used in deer hunting, and You Tube is full of these theories.
>>> Miguel “mike” Fernandez, a veteran penned another letter in the Miami Herald calling out the hypocrisy of the Trump Library being next to the historic Freedom Tower Miami’s Statue of Liberty, to many Cuban Americans. And the man has been criticized by many for speaking out over what’s happening in America and the rough immigration policies.
>>>And I am surprised more leaders are not sticking their neck out, like Fernandez about the rough treatment of immigrants and not the bad people, drug dealers, rapists they are claiming in a recruitment ad ICE is interested in, says the hiring COMMERCIAL, given how many Cuban immigrants have come to Miami I am surprised, how alone and vilified Fernandez has become, from his letters decrying harsh treatment.

And hope you can support the WDR efforts to have informed residents of public institutions issues, in our community.
>>> Further the www.watchdogreport.net in South Florida is an established news service presence, because most people are too busy to go to these important meetings., and all the information comes through me as a central point allowing me to see things at a 100-mile altitude and being an early warning system when projects have overruns or other issues. But my job is to sound the alarm and I have done so many times over the past years in a host of ways.
