Lambiet’s Lunch: Former U.S. Rep’s ex-mistress quits cushy Martin County job; A-Rod’s home discounted

Kimberly Roden and Tim Mahoney (Courtesy Stuart News) – One of several women who caused the spectacular fall of area U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney , Martin County operations manager Kimberly Roden , is walking away from her $73,000-a-year gig in a buyout effort by the county. A comely blue-eyed blonde who was credited for getting the U.S. government to pay for hurricane cleanup that it didn’t pay in neighboring counties, Roden was disciplined (sorta!) three days without pay earlier this year for not telling her superiors that she and the very married Mahoney were an item. The Democrat lost his reelection bid to Republican Tom Rooney last year after he admitted to several affairs, including one with an employee. His wife, Terry , filed for divorce within days. Roden took several tax-funded trips to Washington, D.C., while Mahoney was in office. Roden’s departure comes as the county offered to pay longtime employees for

up to 16 weeks if they leave. “The program is absolutely voluntary,” said county administrative services boss Gary Gierlicz . “No one is being pushed out.” Alex Rodriguez – Major Leaguer Alex Rodriguez , who just won the World Series with the New York Yankees , has discounted his Coral Gables mansion. It was on the market for $14.8 million. Now, it can be yours for $10 million, according to realestalker Web site . Wouldn’t hurt so much if A-Rod didn’t buy the six-bedroomer for $12 million five years ago. The house is also on the auction site billionaireexchange.com . Rodriguez is said to be getting ready to play house on the Left Coast with Hollywood actress Kate Hudson ( Fool’s Gold , Almost Famous ). Tour A-Rod’s digs by clicking here .
