"Francisco Rodriguez, 58, a bus driver, said his property taxes increased by about $600 this year, leading him to cancel his health insurance. He voted to remove Alvarez.

"It's time for him to go," Rodriguez said. "We want a change."

I think there is alot of CHANGE coming and soon!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

People are pissed.

Barry doesn't have a prayer of getting a second term, but we want him to take up the Democrat slot.

Wouldn't want Hillary to sneak in.

I read that Alverez is a republican. Or should I say RHINO.

[Longbow1969]

So what now? It would seem that Mayor Carlos Alvarez is a Republican right? A Republican who acted like a Democrat and raised taxes which infuriated people. So he is gone, what fills the void? Does this mean the Democrats have a good shot at taking over here?

[fwdude]

I’m not getting it. Don’t recall election also include electing a NEW mayor? I didn’t see this mentioned. So are they mayor-less now?

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Marco Rubio should resign from the Senate, Run for Mayor, and have the Governor appoint a Conservative replacement for him. Time to start playing hardball. Rubio can run again in another state for Senator next year.

My local School District has a levy for just over that amount in store for my city. They do not understand that people are out of work, unable to sell their homes or move, are in foreclosure, or at a minimum, financially strapped; regardless of how much they make.

Gas and food costs are up, up, up! Wages and property values are down, yet they demand more from the private sector? Goodness.

[Tzimisce]

Wow.

[GeronL]

Will his replacement be any better?? This is FloriDUH after all

[winstonwolf33]

Alvarez maintained throughout the recall effort that raising taxes was necessary to fill a $444 million gap and avoid cuts to critical social services.

I'd like to see a list of these "critical" social services.

Ha!

[mewykwistmas]

“We want a change.”

A shame! For an extra $0.99 you could have gotten some hope to go with it

[winstonwolf33]

Have all of you read about the guy who led the recall campaign against the mayor? His name is Norman Braman, a son of immigrants, who grew up in Philly and apparently rose from water boy for the Philadelphia Eagles to the team's president(?!). He would later sell the team in 1994 and then make a fortune owning a fleet of car dealerships!

Previously, he was successful in an ANTI-TAX campaign that would have increase the city's sales tax in order to fund (get this) a renovation of the Miami Dolphins football stadium. All this is from Wikipedia. This is some American story!

Hey, Norman Braman's my kinda guy. Miamians should smarten up and nominate HIM as mayor! Sounds like someone that can take care of business down there.

Now, if only the entire USA could vote to expel Carlos Estevez...

[rawhide]

My question is: will the new mayor fight to roll back the tax increases? Can he do that?

[waus]

Typical.

These people flee the oppression of their government and the first thing they do is vote in the same type of people they were trying to avoid.

Morons would be ashamed to be associated with them.

Just like the Roman Empire this once great country is being rotted to the core by immigration. Leeches.

Those who can’t create on their own will suck the life blood out of those who can.

If they could manifest a society of prosperity, then, they wouldn’t have to come here in the first place.

Parasites.

[tioga]

I guess there is just not enough of Gov. Chris Christie to go around. They will have to find their own.

Thank God.

[tflabo]

Take a lesson Gov. MoonBeam.... or are his Kookifornicata constituents so leftist over the edge it doesn’t matter how much Ca. taxes get raised.
