City Officials "Opa Locka goonin'?"

From the looks of new allegations, some of Opa Locka's City officials and employees belong on a song with Brisco! The Miami Herald released a report today that City Police Chief James Wright has formally complained by letter that his job has been threatened by Opa Locka City Commissioner Gail Miller. His complaint alleges that his position has been threatened over the treatment of Miller's daughter, Tamika, who is a City employee. He allegedly received the threat via a voice mail to his cellphone after Miller's daughter was "reprimanded" for her job performance by Wright's former Deputy Chief (as Tamika Miller used to work in the police department).

According to the report, the former Deputy Chief is called by the person leaving the message "...that punk-a** deputy chief you got there..." and the caller goes on to say that Wright is "...going to wish you never had him when I'm threw with y'all."

Commissioner Miller, whose brother and mother have been Mayor of Opa Locka, is denying the allegations that she made the calls. Miller has made complaints DURING A COMMISSION MEETING (*WHY???*) about her daughter's work conditions (working in a trailer with no AC).

Sound off peeps, ESPECIALLY Opa Locka peeps. Check out your tax dollars at work!
