The very public bitch slapping of North Miami Beach Councilcritter Frantz Pierre at Tuesday night’s council meeting was a beautiful sight to behold.

During public comment, a man came up and introduced himself as Gary Glaze, of 700 South Royal Poinciana Boulevard, Miami Springs, Florida 33166.  He claimed to be the representative for AFSCME Local 3293.  First he held up and waved a stack of papers in the air, which he claimed were “1,500 signatures of North Miami Beach residents who don’t want to outsource sanitation.”  Mr. Glaze promised to produce these “signatures” at a later time.

Boy, who does THAT sound like?

Right on cue, Mr. Glaze then announced that he had in his possession “an advertisement of the Mayor that Councilman Frantz Pierre alluded to at the last meeting,” which he proceeded to hand to the City Clerk, who in turn, passed them out to the Mayor and Council.

In a miraculous (and obviously well rehearsed) coincidence, Frantzie piped in that he just happened  to have the EXACT same photograph!

The Mayor calmly reviewed the document, turned to Franzie and asked him if he remembered what he said at the last meeting.

Undaunted, the Spork Weasel spoke:

“Thank you Mr. Mayor for recognizing me.  Uh, during the, uh, questioning session, I was in the process of, uh, explaining to people even though they might see the mayor picture in advertisement, this should not be construed as, uh, as a big deal, but apparently, uh, the mayor did not understand and it had what I suppose that it was like, uh, uh, uh, making accusations.  In fact, I was trying to do the opposite!  Uh, to say, this, in the middle of a bidding process, I received my on March 14, 2015, and when I see the mayor’s picture on it, it did not sounds right to me.  I wanted to make sure if there is any contradiction, any malpractice so people would be fooled.  That’s all.  But I would say it was innuendo I have no proof and I got the proof right here and I, uh, believe the same thing but mine was received, it was addressed to me by Waste Pro on received I could [unintelligible] on March 14, 2015 at where ver for [unintelligible].”

Experienced Frantzie Watchers already knew what to expect.

If his history as a pathological liar weren’t proof enough, FOR THE RECORD, let me remind you of the EXACT words uttered by Councilcritter Frantz Pierre at the council meeting on July 21, 2015, which I transcribed verbatim in my blog post, Let’s Play Whack-a-Mole-Weasel.  (You can also witness his performance for yourself, with your own eyes and ears, at hour 3:57 of the video.)

This is what the Sociopath of NMB emphatically, and very publicly, stated just two weeks earlier:

“On that similar problem of the process, uh, I have another piece of literature.  Unfortunately I do not have it but I can guarantee that one other person have it at home.  Where the company that was listed number two with the picture of a council member in a piece of literature saying something like ‘coming soon to North Miami Beach.’  Uh, do you think, uh, that could be an impediment to the, uh, credibility of the process?  Because I LOVE my city.  I know you guys work SO hard.  I do not want anything to taint our city or put, uh, bad taste in peoples mouth on, uh, either the council, the members, and assuming what was said in that brochure and I promise I would give you a copy when I find it [unintelligible] I give them to, uh, do you think, uh, there could be a room for, for litigation if we decide to go through with the number one bidder?”

When Mayor Vallejo pressed Frantz to explain exactly what he was talking about, The P Man continued, as follows:

“A picture of the Mayor with an executive of Waste Pro in a magazine and, uh, I do not remember the exact wording but I save it and I have it, I guarantee I have it … somewhere, uh, something like ‘coming soon to North Miami Beach.’  I don’t want this to be [unintelligible] I promise I can [unintelligible] promise something and then give it to one other company.  That’s one thing.  And number two, since, uh, I’m not exploding (?) the contract yet, at, uh, they is, uh, they is, uh, allegation that we gonna squeeze the first bidder to the point they refuse and we give it to the second bidder.”

And that, my friends, is how the Spork Weasel of NMB plays.

Last night, however, Mayor George Vallejo was not about to let The P Man get away with his little game.

After a very brief pause, the Mayor said:

“Councilman Pierre.  At the last meeting you basically attempted to insinuate that there was a picture and that I was in an advertisement that said, “coming soon,” and that this could be some sort of a taint on the process.  Done deal.  All of these words were thrown out.  You know what this is?  For anyone who’s watching [Mayor holds up photo], this is a newsletter from the company with a photo of me at a Chamber of Commerce event handing them their membership plaque, which is something I do with every single company practically that is in the Chamber of Commerce, not just in North Miami Beach, but the Aventura Marketing Council.  In the business they may call this a “grip and grin.”  As Mayor, and the official representative of this city, I am in a lot of photos.  I take pictures and I’m in pictures handing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of companies over the last four years, handing them their plaque like this next to a representative.  The fact that that picture was taken, as there have been hundreds and hundreds of others, is not an endorsement of anything.  It is not anything that says “coming soon,” as my esteemed colleague tried to insinuate that evening, or done deal, or taint, or anything else.  You know what that is?  That is a continuation of the character assassination and cheap politics and cheap grandstanding that has taken place by my colleague on this issue for years.  I want to make sure that the residents know what that is and if anyone has a question about it they’re free to come look at it.  I’m done.”

Sorry, Frantzie.  The Mayor don’t play that game!

The Mayor’s colleagues, Councilwoman Barbara Kramer, Councilman Anthony DeFillipo and Councilwoman Marlen Martell weren’t playing, either.

On no uncertain terms, Barbara lashed out by saying “The only person that has been tainting this process, Councilman Pee-Air, is YOU!  You assassinated a former Public Services Director.  You have assassinated our recreation department Director on another matter that I was involved in.  And now you go and try to assassinate the character of the Mayor!  Two of those assassinations have to do with the process discussing outsourcing.  So the only person on this dais here that has any tainting abilities or has committed to it or is convicting other people is YOU!  Now you answer to this body up here, or at least to me, you explain YOURSELF!  Because the Mayor explained himself at the last council meeting.  Now you explain to our residents, to me, to the staff, and most importantly, to the Mayor, how you think this picture is tainting the process!”

Barbara don’t play that game, either.

Frantzie’s reponse?

Crickets.

If Barbara expected an answer, none was forthcoming.

Councilman Tony DeFillipo also had enough of Frantzie’s bullshit.

He loudly spat, “Councilman Pierre, you’re a COWARD for not answering!  This is a picture of a community coming together, of people [being] recognized.  But you know what?  You always turn things around.  And you’re the one who taints this council!  You ought to be ashamed for sitting up here!”

Tony sure don’t play that game!

Councilwoman Marlen Martell made her point near the end of the meeting during the city council committee reports.  At hour 1:36:44, she went off on Frantzie like a freaking jackhammer!

Marlen said, “I didn’t get my opportunity to speak to Councilman Pierre, but I will at this time.”

She first took the opportunity to read the PRINTED text accompanying the “offending” photograph, which says, “At an event held in December in North Miami Beach, Waste Pro was honored by the North Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce as a Member of the Month.”

Marlen then reamed Frantzie a new one for not bringing his so-called “evidence” to the last council meeting, and also for not publicly reading the PRINTED text on the brochure.  She ended her bitch slap of the Spork Weasel with, “I’m so insulted by what you did to the Mayor,” before warning him that he’d better not make false accusations again without bringing proof with him.

Nope.  Marlen don’t play that game, either.

In fact, that’s exactly what she told him!

Like the sociopath that he is, when it was Frantzie’s turn to speak at hour 1:44, in the face of irrefutable proof that he is The Problem, he refused to accept any responsibility for the turmoil he created.

He had the chutzpah to say, “Good evening, everyone.  The truth hurts.”

As Barbara promptly picked herself up and left the dais, Frantz then mumbled about summertime.

Or traveling.

Or something.

Frantzie then tried to explain away his deranged behavior by claiming it was a mere “difference of style” and “a misunderstanding” between colleagues.

The man is truly, truly demented.

Will someone please Baker Act him already?
