Every day is a party for North Miami Beach Criminal Commissioner Paule Villard.  Especially since she’s not footing the bill.

In fact, as long as her personal manservant, a/k/a City Manager Arthur “Duke” Sorey, has control of the City checkbook, whatever Paule wants, Paule gets.  After all, as long as she remains his reliable fourth vote on the dais, Duke gets to keep his job and keep collecting his obscene paycheck of nearly $300,000 a year.

Using Women’s History Month as an excuse to throw a party for her family and personal friends (literally), Paule spent $8,775.36 of your tax dollars on an event that had absolutely no public benefit for the residents of North Miami Beach.

At least that’s the cost of the event that we know of so far since our public records request dated April 1, 2022 is still not complete.

Of course, this is only one of the fifteen (15) outstanding public records requests still outstanding since March 6, 2022 that City Manager Arthur “Duke” Sorey has been withholding from us, so it could be a while until we know the true cost of this one.

But, we digress.

For this particular party, one of the dozens that Paule throws all year long on taxpayer dime, she “honored” thirty four (34) of her family and friends, a/k/a “Unsung Heroes” for being the “quintessential women of the times.”

Only two of these women actually live in North Miami Beach.

Madona Luc Rosan formed a “non-profit” on August 6, 2020, which she runs out of her home, and which is not registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a tax exempt organization.  This “quintessential woman” has no social media presence, never served on any citizen boards for the City of North Miami Beach, and to the best of our knowledge, has never even attended a City Commission Meeting.

But, hey.  According to Paule Villard, Madona Luc Rosan is a “leader” in the “community.”

Ditto for Lauren Denise Rios, the only other North Miami Beach resident, who has no discernible employment, but she does have a Facebook account, and she managed to get herself arrested in Orange County, Florida for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence.

But, hey.  According to Paule Villard, Lauren Denise Rios is a “leader” in the “community.”

Aside from these two women and a few assorted other nonstarters, a good many of the women on Paule’s list are deserving of recognition for their contribution to society in South Florida.

However, with the exception of Dr. Rose-May Seide and Dr. Marie Sandra Severe, both of whom practice medicine in the City of North Miami Beach, and Leslie Lowenthal, President of the City’s Chamber of Commerce, not a single one of the remaining thirty one (31) women have ever done anything for the City’s residents.

Even more glaring, however, is the fact that only seven out of thirty four women on Racist Paule’s “Unsung Heroes” list are non-Haitians.

In fact, the Haitian broadcasting agency, VOA Kreyòl, acknowledged in its coverage on April 4, 2022 that Paule’s party was actually an event to honor only Haitian women.

Which was Criminal Commissioner Paule Villard’s plan all along.

In addition to twenty-seven (27) Haitian-American women, Racist Paule only invited a token white Jew, four African Americans, one black Hispanic, and one Asian to make it look like she’s all about “diversity.”

 

But anyone who’s been paying attention knows that nothing could be further from the truth.

As we reported in March, between Paule and her co-conspirator on the dais, Daniela Jean, they spent a combined $51,040.87 on Haitian Heritage Month in May, 2021.

We’ve recently discovered an additional expenditure that Duke Sorey withheld from our public records request — yet another invoice in the amount of $5,840.00 from Talie & Co. Strategies, LLC for “Advertising-Haitian Heritage Culture Festival,” which took place on May 29, 2021, bringing the total spent on an ethnic group representing less than 20% of the residents to an outrageous $56,880.87!

This payment brings the total spent on Haitian events in just one month last year to an outrageous $56,880.87.

That we know of, anyway.  Who knows what other expenditures Duke Sorey has been hiding?

Compare that amount to the paltry $85.37 spent on Jewish American Heritage Month also held during the same month in May, 2021.

But, hey!  “Diversity,” right?

In case you’re wondering, Talie & Co. Strategies, LLC, is a Florida Limited Liability company that was formed by Nephthalie Hyacinthe on March 14, 2019, only four months after Criminal Commissioner Paule Villard was elected.  It was administratively dissolved in September of 2020 for failure to file a 2020 Annual Report, but it was not reinstated until June 10, 2021 — TWELVE DAYS AFTER THE EVENT FOR WHICH IT HAD ALREADY BEEN ADVERTISING!

In other words, Criminal Commissioner Paule Villard commissioned a company that was not legally authorized to do business in the State of Florida, to advertise one of her many events for Haitian Heritage Month last year.

Is anyone surprised?

This isn’t the only check to Talie & Co. Strategies, LLC from the City’s checkbook.

On December 15, 2021, Duke Sorey whipped out the City’s checkbook and wrote a $2,500.00 check to this company, this time for “Caribbean Culture Fest Sponsorship” held on October 15, 2021.

We have requested a copy of the original invoice from Talie & Co. Strategies, LLC, but it could be a while.

In case you’re still wondering why Paule is so insistent on hiring a fledgling company with no track record, the owner of which allowed it to dissolve until Paule Villard was granted unfettered access to taxpayer dollars to spend on her re-election campaign, wonder no more.

The founder of this company, Naphtalie Hyacinthe was one of Paule’s thirty-four “Quintessential Women” that she “honored” at her taxpayer-funded “Unsung Heroes” party.

Seems legit.

Several other women that Paule deemed “Quintessential Women” solely by virtue of being her family and close personal friends, are:

“Apostle” Nelly Joseph, who was the star of Paule’s unconstitutional Clergy Appreciation Brunch, formed a “non-profit” in 2019 called Kingdom Global Advancement, Inc.  According to its website, Nelly Joseph “uses her gift of prophecy and revelation to help any vision come to a reality.”

Alrighty then.

City of Miami Police Lieutenant Claudia Claude and Police Commander Bianca Joseph, both former “colleagues” of Paule’s when she was pretending to be a cop back in the day.

Apparently, no female law enforcement officers in the North Miami Beach Police Department were “quintessential” (or Haitian) enough for Paule.

Then there’s an actual Officer Villard — Paule’s daughter Ashlee, formerly of the North Miami Police Department, and who we’re told now works for the City of Miramar.  Our police contacts speak very highly of Officer Ashlee Villard, saying that she is an extremely qualified and professional law enforcement officer, who fortunately did not follow in her mother’s corrupt footsteps.  In any other ceremony, Officer Villard would be very deserving of a “Quintessential Woman” honor.  In this case, however, she’s just another invited guest in one of Paule’s self-promotional parties.

Pity.

In the Friends With Benefits Category (no, not those benefits), Paule threw a bone to Millicent Williams, wife of former Chief of Staff Greg Williams, who was replaced by her personal taxpayer-funded campaign manager, Willis Howard, who is likewise being replaced by his soon-to-be ex-wife, Tiffany Lynn Howard, who can only trade up from there.

No Paule Party would be complete without a contribution by her favorite co-host and personal carpetbagging undertaker, Evans St. Fort, who donated his mother, Maryse, for the cause.

You may remember that Evans St. Fort filed to run for Mayor against Tony DeFillipo in 2020, but abruptly withdrew from the race once he was outed as a bona fide resident — of Pembroke Pines.

Rumor has it that Paule is recruiting Evans St. Fort to run again in North Miami Beach this November in the seat being vacated by the termed out Commissioner Barbara Kramer.

In order to establish “residency,” in September of 2021, he had Paule appoint him to the City’s Commission on Aging / Senior Citizens Advisory Board, at which time he swore under oath and penalty of perjury that he lives in a North Miami Beach apartment, when he really still lives in his 4,235 square foot mansion 20 miles away …

Where he really lives with his wife and family in the City of Pembroke Pines, and where he has claimed a double homestead exemption every single year from 2016 through and including 2022.

The rest of Paule’s party guests were a mixed bag of professional women with distinguished successful careers, and losers like her who have never had real jobs but who love spending other people’s money.

Regardless of whether or not they were worthy of being honored, only three out of 34 have contributed to the greater good of the residents of North Miami Beach, and there was absolutely no legitimate public purpose for this outrageous expense of tax dollars.

VOTE THIS PARTY ANIMAL OUT ON NOVEMBER 8, 2022!
