Miami Commish Alex Diaz de la Portilla facing corruption charges while his district staff skate on campaign violations
By Francisco Alvarado, FloridaBulldog.org
Even as Miami Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla was put in handcuffs Thursday for bribery and other charges, members of his city staff were the focus of a separate investigation that found they were part of a scheme in which they did paid campaign work for Diaz de la Portilla's brother while on the taxpayer's dime.
Yet, they won’t be facing criminal misdemeanor charges for violating a state law that prohibits government employees from double-dipping - engaging in political campaigning while on duty.
