This week has been such a media derived week focusing on of the latest county scams that has occurred in Miami-Dade County.
I know most of you have heard or overheard the news about a Recall going or something happening with Mayor Carlos Alvarez.
Channel 7 Fox -Article Voters Begin Signing Petition
So I will try to recap what the news stations have been reporting.
Mayor Carlos Alvarez of Miami-Dade County decided to pass an ordinance stating the need to give raises to his city of Miami County staff which would be funded by us the citizens of Miami Dade County by having to pay an increase of 14% in property taxes.
That’s right ladies and gentlemen 14 PERCENT INCREASE! Are they out of their minds?
Seriously with all of the foreclosures and unemployment in our city alone, you cannot expect me to buy ANY TYPE of justification for this ordinance. Especially since every other county has made cutbacks and salary reductions to keep from having to raise taxes to its citizens.
Billionaire Norman Braman owner of Braman Honda decided to put down $1 Million of his own dollars to spear head a Recall to get Mayor Alvarez out of office and throw out this ordinance from taking effect. He got the approval from the Clerk of Courts and was given until December 14, 2010 to gather up 45,000 signed petitions from Miami Dade county registered voters to be able to approve the recall.
No other Mayor has bee recalled since 1978. Imagine that, due to the poor economic state our country is in, only helped to catch this type abuse from our local government.
5 of the 8 Miami Dade County city commissioners
approved this ordinance.
approved this ordinance.
So there is another movement to recall those
5 commissioners out of office.
5 commissioners out of office.
Shame on them and especially Shame on Carlos Alvarez!
So now you know the PROBLEM.
My question is… what are we going to do about it?
1- Educate ourselves ( Which I so kindly just did)
2- Act and Sign the Recall Petition to get Mayor Carlos Alvarez out of Office and overthrow this ordinance.
There are currently three offices where you can go and sign.
You must be a resident of Miami-Dade County and have a Voter Registration.
You will be asked to fill out the form and then you will have your signature notarized for authenticity.
All I can say is Norman Brahman…. YOU ROCK, I might even consider getting a Honda soon, you never know!
