Robaina to Gimenez: Stop Using Government E-Mail for Campaign

Miami-Dade mayoral candidate Julio Robaina called on opponent Carlos Gimenez to stop sending "unsolicited campaign-related e-mails" to county workers' office e-dresses.

It appears that just like former Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez, Gimenez believes that its acceptable to use county resources for his campaign purposes," Robaina said in a statement Wednesday.

"I call on Mr. Gimenez to immediately stop e-mailing county employees using their government e-mails. I also call on the office of the inspector general to investigate the matter, as it would appear that the e-mails date back to when Gimenez was still serving on the Board of County Commissioners, said Robaina, the mayor of Hialeah.

Gimenez's campaign was not immediately available for comment.
