A Campbell family minivan has racked up five tickets for running red lights since 2010.
Most citizens would slow down. But Daphne Campbell isn’t like most citizens.
She’s a Democratic state representative who has another way to deal with future red-light tickets: file legislation to ban the traffic-surveillance cameras that shot video of her husband’s Honda Odyssey breaking traffic laws.
It could seem like a conflict of interest. But as long as a lawmaker’s bills don’t benefit him or her or a family member uniquely, it’s generally not a conflict of interest.
This is the state of ethics in the Florida Legislature. It’s a citizens’ legislature of 160 part-time lawmakers. They theoretically come from all walks of life and private professions.
This is representative democracy.
And Campbell, of Miami Shores, represents so much more in Miami-Dade.
Many citizens run red lights in Miami-Dade. Campbell is from Miami-Dade. And someone in her family ran red lights five times.
Miami-Dade is also a Medicaid fraud capital. Campbell and her husband own businesses that bill Medicaid. And the state’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit began investigating them two years ago. Their son, 30-year-old Gregory Campbell, faces Medicaid fraud charges in an alleged $300,000 scheme.
Many in Miami-Dade have tax problems. Campbell is from Miami-Dade. And she and her husband last spring were slapped with $145,000 worth of liens. The IRS also began examining the Campbells over financial transactions involving a web of family healthcare businesses. Two former business associates told The Herald and IRS that the Campbells scammed them.
Miami-Dade has questionable mortgages. The Campbells own numerous properties in Miami-Dade. Campbell’s husband pleaded guilty in 2007 to a federal charge of falsely using someone else’s Social Security number to obtain $829,103 involving six separate loans, one of which was from a Honda dealership.
This Woman Evil read this : As for the tax liens, despite court records, Rep. Campbell told The Herald in 2012 “I don’t have no tax liens.”
She then falsely told The Miami Times that “The Miami Herald never spoke with me and I don’t know anything about any tax problems.” But then she reversed herself by saying she has a payment plan with the tax agency and that “my accountant is working with the IRS.”
On Friday in an interview with a Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times state capital bureau reporter, Campbell also disputed the evidence of the red-light tickets issued to her husband’s Honda Odyssey.
The company that runs the ticketing program, American Traffic Solutions, provided video of the minivan running red lights on two occasions. It also furnished a photo of the back of the Odyssey showing a Campbell campaign sticker.
“It’s a lie,” she said. “That camera is a made up story. You can do anything with the computer now.”
Campbell said her red-light legislation isn’t about her or her husband.
Looking at the picture I would think that all those persons aboard our official government vessel should be wearing life jackets once on board. If any of them fall overboard and drown ,But they were not wearing any when they started their search for freedom right ,so who gives a damm .Everything is human rights for these people .They have almost taken away all of our rights.Plus they want to put Haitian-Columbian necktie on us .Tell there Prime Minister take care of their people ,we hardly could get our government to takes care off us.
This troll wants Wells to spill the beans .Cause now he wants the public to know from day one it was not him whom ask Wells to sign.When asked whether the firing will affect Mr Well’s relationship with the Progressive Liberal Party, Mr Davis said: “I would hope not,Why not a yes or no he just has to explain what happened. This Troll and that cartoon Prime Minister all knows what went down .Wells got a one time payday not to ever talk wuss “it’s just like you say that the world is cruel,He want your post cartoon man and all you'll wicked ways is going to find all you'll out soon
So the little Troll Bravis Davis said they created Ten Thousand Jobs and you still have thousands more with out a job and no hope of getting none.“It is tough, if you have the skills, they want the qualifications, if you have the qualifications, they want the experience.If we are allowed to work it will decrease crime and other problems related to crime in the country because we now have a chance to work and earn money.” This is a true statement Bahamians only want to work ,most of us don't want handouts.
Key word-They work together and buy goods by the container.Bahamians never they don't trust one another .If they get together to do the same thing ,someone will believe someone is stealing so they end up with high prices and the Bahamians flock to the Chinese.Cant blame them for making things happen .Bahamians hate to see their own make it,and than they want to blame someone for there downfall.
Yes Mr. Miller please lets us know why you need to make such purchase . when it is sold already .What now you have to steal from us the small man whom are the only ones that make this country stable by paying our bills. while you and your bunch of broke back mountain comrades live like kings and queens.You is the very one promise the people better service and cheaper rates, but your ole ass once you got their you only saw a pot of gold with your name on it.Time longer than rope
Tal take a rest you are broken down old record playing the same tune everyday you repeat the same shit on every topic on every site .why don't you gave your ears a rest.
Spend our money come back here for weeks on end before you even had the guts to mention what was said ,go fish all you'll fools running government like a petty shop . 2017 may same awhile away but trust me time longer than rope .We Believe in you'll self .Get rich or die trying .
