Miami-Dade County Mayor Mayor Carlos Alvarez raised property taxes. He used the money to give huge raises to government bureaucrats. Yesterday, he was booted from office in a landslide recall election.
200,000 people voted in the election, making this the largest recall election of a local government official in U.S. history.
88% of the people voted to toss him out.
This should be another warning to the cowardly and clueless politicians in D.C. who are still refusing to deal with the government deficit, debt, and economy.
