In Part 1, we told you that North Miami Beach mayor Michael Joseph’s ex-Constituent Services Aide, Carolina Matamoros, is a tad peeved that she got herself fired by City Manager Darvin Williams.

Instead of taking responsibility for her own actions, she’s lashing out at anyone she can blame for the loss of a cushy job that allowed her to “work remotely” while campaigning for office in neighboring North Miami.

And by “work remotely,” we’re guessing she turned in time sheets to the city reflecting the total hours she “worked” from home doing whatever it is that “Constituent Services Aides” actually do.

Considering that she couldn’t even be bothered to respond to an invitation that Michael received from the Miami-Dade County League of Cities until the President-Elect was forced to email her to ask if he was going to attend, we’re not exactly sure what the job description for the position of part-time, off-site “Constituent Services Aid” would actually include.

Carolina was especially irked that the President-Elect of the League of Cities, who also happens to be North Miami Beach Commissioner Fortuna Smukler, emailed her personally instead of through her own “Constituent Services Aide.”

In fact, she even included this heinous infraction in her latest complaint to the Miami-Dade County Commission on Human Rights against the City Manager.

Oh, the horror!

Even though the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust dismissed her first Complaint against City Manager Darvin Williams, Carolina decided to try her hand at another county agency to see if she’d have better luck at exacting her revenge for his not understanding that she is a Very Important Person whose every wish should be his command.

What’s really adorable is that she actually believes her absolutely justified firing had nothing to do with her refusal to follow the policies handed down by her actual boss, i.e., the City Manager, and then having the audacity to ask him if “the mayor” was aware that Mr. Williams had given her new directives.

We don’t know how it’s done in the public sector, but here in the real world of the private sector, we would refer to this type of behavior as insubordination.

Which usually leads to the filing for, and ultimate rejection of, unemployment benefits.

It’s really a beautiful thing.

In government, however, some (but not all) employees actually believe they are entitled to remain on the payroll for jobs they either don’t qualify for or are unable to perform, under the threat of filing a “discrimination” complaint.

What’s really hilarious is that Carolina Matamoros actually believed her termination had nothing at all to do with her insubordination and refusal to work “on-site,” but everything to do with politics.

In her complaint to the Human Rights Commission, she wrote:

In February 2026, Darvin Williams (“Williams”) was hired as the City’s new City Manager and requested an introductory meeting with me. During that meeting, we discussed my concurrent employment with the City of North Miami. I explained that I worked evenings and weekends to fulfill my responsibilities to both municipalities while supporting my children. After answering all of his questions, Williams expressly approved my remote work arrangement. At no point did he indicate that my outside employment violated City policy, created a conflict of interest, required additional approval, or jeopardized my employment. He later referenced an email involving one of my North Miami supervisors, confirming his continued awareness of my outside employment, yet still raised no concerns.

In the months since City Manager Darvin Williams “requested an introductory meeting” with Carolina, he had had ample time to inspect the city finances, including, and especially, employee salaries, in order to begin implementing cost cutting measures designed to lower the budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year.

Mr. Williams also had taken the initiative to improve the effectiveness of the government by restructuring the city’s administrative procedures to eliminate redundancy and improve services.

Apparently, Carolina Matamoros took it personally.

Nevertheless, this disgruntled, part-time employee made it all about her.

Her never-ending complaint continued:

On June 3, 2026, I officially filed as a candidate for North Miami City Council, District 3. Pursuant to the North Miami City Charter, I immediately took an unpaid leave of absence from my full-time position with the City, returned all City-issued property, ceased performing any work, and stopped receiving compensation while pursuing my candidacy. Within three days of my candidacy becoming public, my employment relationship with North Miami Beach changed significantly. On June 6, 2026, without prior discussion or indication of any concerns, Williams revoked my previously approved remote work arrangement and directed me to report to City Hall beginning June 22, 2026, citing operational needs, training, and staff coordination. This was the first time my remote work arrangement had been challenged after more than a year of successful employment.

We can’t stop laughing that Carolina Matamoros actually believes that:

1. The North Miami Beach City Manager was required to give a part-time employee the courtesy of a “prior discussion” before he revoked her “previously approved remote work arrangement,” and
2. She is indignant that he “challenged” her to actually show up in the flesh (or “IRL” as they say in social media) and do the part-time job she was ostensibly hired to do.

Even crazier, this part-time employee has the audacity to complain that he gave her “only” 16 days’ notice to get prepared to actually show up at the office and earn her paycheck.

In her complaint, Carolina becomes even more unhinged in her narrative.  She wrote:

Also on June 6, Williams directed me to complete an Outside Employment Disclosure Form and advised that I appeared to be out of compliance with City policy. This directive came despite the fact that he had personally discussed my outside employment with me months earlier, approved my remote work arrangement with full knowledge of that employment, and later referenced my employment with the City of North Miami in subsequent conversations.

In other words, “How dare he change his mind?”

News flash, honey:  AS CITY MANAGER, DARVIN WILLIAMS RUNS THE ENTIRE CITY!

He is entitled to mix it up as he sees fit.

As City Manager, Darvin Williams has every right to demand that employees, part-time or otherwise, actually show up for work and earn their keep.

We realize that this concept is above your pay grade, but that’s how it works.

At this point in her complaint narrative, Carolina Matamoros officially put on her tinfoil hat and insisted that she was fired because Darvin Williams somehow found out that she was running for office in another city.

She wrote:

When I stated that I did not have active outside employment, I was referring to my unpaid leave of absence from the City of North Miami, during which I was neither working nor receiving compensation. I had not informed Williams of my leave or my candidacy for elected office. Nevertheless, he referenced my leave status and asserted that I appeared to be in violation of City policy. Because I had never disclosed this information, I found his knowledge of my leave status noteworthy, as it was directly tied to my candidacy. The timing of his comments, along with the directives regarding my outside employment and remote work arrangement, led me to believe that my candidacy had become known within City management and may have influenced the actions that followed. I immediately complied with all directives, sought guidance from the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust regarding the disclosure form, and submitted the completed form before the deadline.

So, let’s get this straight.

Carolina Matamoros filed to run for office in North Miami, yet she’s shocked — SHOCKED, I TELL YOU — that “her candidacy had become known” to a government official in a city literally across the street from North Miami.

Folks, we seriously couldn’t make this up if we tried.

And yet, her complaint continued for six more paragraphs, including the admission that she had previously filed a similar complaint with the Miami-Dade Ethics Commission, while conveniently omitting the fact that the Commission summarily dismissed her complaint on its face without even opening an investigation.

Apparently, according to this aspiring North Miami Councilwoman no public resources will go un-wasted.

The most conspiratorial part of Carolina’s complaint by far, was the allegation that both City Manager Darvin Williams and Commissioner Fortuna Smukler (see Part 1) were out to get her because she is running against the equally bat-shit crazy, and corrupt AF, Mary Estimé-Irvin.

Carolina actually wrote in her complaint:

“Based on the timing and sequence of events, I became concerned that the personnel actions taken against me were connected to my candidacy.”

In addition to bringing up Commissioner Smukler’s association with a non-profit run by Mary Estimé-Irvin, Carolina wrote:

“[T]hat public campaign finance records later showed Mr. Williams made contributions supporting my opponent’s political committee. I did not assert that these facts alone established wrongdoing, but I believed they were relevant to determining whether political considerations influenced the personnel actions taken against me.”

Carolina is referring to a political committee called Building a Better Tomorrow Today which, aside from it’s incredibly stupid name, is allegedly associated with Mary Estimé-Irvin’s campaign for re-election.

This PAC was formed on October 22, 2025 by Ernest Floreal, Chairman, and Aland Pierre-Canel, Treasurer.  The Florida Department of State sent a letter acknowledging receipt of the filing on October 23, 2025, which letter was returned to sender on November 7, 2025 because the addressee was “not known.”

This screw-up right out of the box is how we know that Mary is most likely involved in this political committee.

But, we digress.

To date, this political committee has received a grand total of $224,440.00 in contributions, of which $2,000.00, or less than 0.9%, came from Darvin Williams.  He contributed $250.00 on November 20, 2025, months before he was even employed by the City of North Miami Beach, and another $1,750.00 on April 28, 2026.

The remaining $222,440.00 came from the usual North Miami suspects (individually and/or through their companies), such as Arthur “Duke” Sorey, Hans Ottinot, Smith Joseph, Jeffy Mondesir, Jeff Lozama, Andre Pierre, Michael McDearmaid, and others.

To no one’s surprise, this PAC has spent only $28,452.82 of its massive war chest, most of which was on catering and event planning, accounting fees (to PAC organizer Alan Pierre-Canels), and the usual 5-digit fee to Sinal Consulting Group, LLC., the go-to consultant to the Haitian Political Stars.

Most of these North Miami political operatives have also contributed to North Miami Beach candidates, as well as to their related political committees, and it’s usually because they believe that in the long run, they might benefit by their “investment” in both cities.

We here at VotersOpinion see this as nothing more than political opportunism.

But again, we digress.

While we have no idea why Darvin Williams, who is neither a politician nor a lobbyist, decided to donate to a political committee connected to a corrupt politician like Mary Estimé-Irvin, Carolina herself admitted that this did not “establish wrongdoing.”

The Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust apparently know this as well or her complaints to that agency would not have been dismissed.

And, finally, in the last two paragraphs of her exceedingly long complaint to the Commission on Human Rights, Carolina Matamoros alleged:

“On June 24, 2026, I received a Notice of Pre-Disciplinary Hearing with less than two days’ notice, placing my employment at risk. My employment was terminated on June 26, 2026. Prior to these events, I had no disciplinary history, documented performance issues, or allegations of dishonesty, insubordination, ethical violations, or misconduct.

I believe Darvin Wiliams [sic] discriminated against me based on my race (Black) and retaliated against me by revoking my telework; requesting that I complete another outside employment form; and for terminating on my employment on June 26, 2026, after learning of my candidacy for public office with the City of North Miami.”

For one thing, as a part-time, unclassified, at-will employee, City Manager Darvin Williams was legally allowed to terminate her employment at any time he saw fit.  The “Notice of Pre-Disciplinary Hearing with less than two days’ notice” he served her with was merely extended as a courtesy.

This blogger would not have been so generous.

As for her accusation that Darvin Williams discriminated against her because she’s black, we are shaking our heads wondering if she ever actually met the man.

Hint:  He’s the dude on the right.

Once again, we really can’t make this stuff up.

We can, however, only hope that the folks over at the Human Rights Commission are as discerning as their counterparts at the Ethics Commission and dismiss this frivolous complaint.

Carolina Matamoros definitely qualifies for the 2026 Tinfoil Hat Award, no doubt.

But we’re still sticking with “just plain stupid.”
