1) The mayor and commissioners of Miami-Dade County have the capacity nor the desire to efficiently manage or solve the problems of Miami Dade County. County economy is in bankruptcy free government is doing a stupid impossible inflated budget to balance, without considering the needs of citizens.
2) The mayor is not able to hear claims to the wisdom and the rationalization of expenditures by county citizens. In the last budget hearing many people are denied the right to display different criteria including a lady of 71 years in a wheelchair rally sack him in a vexatious and disrespectful. There are channels for maintaining a dialogue with the mayor. There is no truly public hearing, direct and free.
3) The Florida and the county are the first in the nation in Foreclosures, Foreclosures in Florida have 70.799 and this is the county has more than 60,000 today. The mayor and commissioners do not want or do not know how to help residents to ride with these problems.
4) We are the poorest area of the United States of America, and according to the Census Bureau USA, 2008. Five years ago the situation was bad but now is terrible.
5) We are the most insecure area of the United States according to the FBI report of 2008. The crime, crime and gangs are rising, the streets, homes and even schools in the county are murdered student stabbed each other, creating chaos and terror in the citizenry but the Mayor will award wage rises to Police commanders for their lousy job.
6) The drugs are everywhere, schools, homes, workplaces, clubs and not doing anything. The drugs are destroying society and funding for terrorism and other crimes.
7) The official unemployment in the county is over 12% but the mayor is not interested. They do nothing to solve the biggest problem. Private businesses in the county are constantly closing their doors to open them no more because of taxes and costly inspections and permits that the county imposed. Leaving on the street to tens of thousands of people.
8) We have all kinds of trusts: The Children Trust, Jackson Memorial Trust, the Homeless Trust, and other Trust's. spending our money foolishly without tangible results satisfactorily. They have thousands of people receiving more than $ 100,000 addition to other allocated expenses such as cars, cell phones, laptops, etc.. The Homeless Trust is going to give free houses child rapists and will keep the money from taxes parent families and friends of children and women who were raped and murdered by them.
9) For each dollar collected by the county 70 cents is to pay the pension plan and wages of officials and employees. This is a huge fiscal irresponsibility that refuse to settle. The County should not employ anyone else to not reduce its payroll at least 75% of the current. Delete duplicate posts or positions that reunify no full-time content.
10) We have a series of bad investments alienating and unnecessary expenses that will exploit the economy of the County and its cities. The Estadium the Marlins, Bay Tunnel and others, whose only purpose is to enrich the personal interest.
11) They have been charged to residents of the property taxes equal to or greater than the previous year to conceal the value of residential property under 50% but the mayor needs money to spend wildly to do that much the residents pay taxes higher than they actually have to pay. This is almost a steal. The property appraiser Pedro Garcia, elect to resolve this issue, sided with the audacity, the impudence and abuse.
12) The mayor's administrative inefficiency is manifest, the wage will rise by up to 54% for his aides and friends, despite having said that we were in difficult times and that we must all tighten our belts. While employees of the mayor are authorized to work in other countries under contract while still collecting their salaries for the county.
13) They have wasted all the money they raised during the past years, in the era of "fat cows". They have left nothing in reserve. Corruption of public employees is rampant. On Friday 13 November, the Commissioner Michelle Spencer was arrested in a case of grand larceny, Commissioner Angel Gonzalez resigned after being accused of abuse of office. Florida Governor Charlie Chris agrees with us: Miami has a long history of corruption ... but he said that like the one in the government of Florida, which he chairs.
14) The commissioners and the mayor without having to justify spending about $ 800,000.00 each year, with thousands of cars, mobile phones, laptops and other miscellaneous expenses allocated to its executives, the county has about 3,000 employees who earn over $ 100,000.00. The County Administrator collect $ 345,000.00 last year. The county commission has a travel agency called Tourism for the Commissioners, has squandered a lot of money, without any practical result.
15) Opponents of the mayor are brutally punished. The mayor of Miami Lakes, filed a motion in court against the unfair rules of the recall referendum against elected politicians and their private offices were torched and completely destroyed. The police said the fire was intentional. So far not found the culprit. 16) In the latest polls from the Miami Herald, Channel 23, Telemiami, AmericaTeVe, Gentv, etc.
68% mayor and the county commissioners are in the wrong direction.
78% want to reduce the staff of the mayor and commissioners.
75% want him to cancel all wage increases that have been made.
95% say they would vote against the mayor if the referendum.
Here at Miami Dade County we have the worst administration in the last 40 years.
They spend money in an irresponsible way. The press denounces the facts and the Fiscal the Public corruption Department or any one of the commissioners says any thing about. We have to stop all these non sense, all are either inept or accomplices.
We have here in the City of Miami, the FBI and Stock Commission for several months investigating the corruptions, but we do not hear any thing more about. There are more silent than in the cemetery. What is going on?
Why we have to bring Federal institutions to investigate local corruptions? Is it not part of the normal work of our local authorities? The Census bureau of the USA report on 2008, that we are the poorest area in USA with an yearly income of $24,000 per family. PER FAMILY!!!!
The report of FBI 2008 said that we are the most insecure area of the USA. Even at school students are killing each other in front of the rest.
The illegal drugs are everywhere.
But the mayor gives a huge increment of salary to the commander of the police.
The unemployment in Miami-Dade is officially 12 % and increasing every day. Every day a lot of business closes the door because of bankruptcy.
We have all kinds of trusts, you pay for all. Jackson trust, In bankruptcy Transit; is in bankruptcy. Homeless trust, children trust, etc, receiving money from us and they not given services. Where the money go?
For every dollar that the county receives, 70% go to the pension plan and salaries. Is this a good administration of our money?
We have a lot of White Elephants in the county that lose a lot of millions a year and he wants to build two more white elephants, the Marlin Stadium and the bay tunnel, and know will be worse. Why?
The governor Charlie Christ said “Miami have a long history of corruption” That’s true, but the Florida state administration, and the Obama's Federal Government too.
Every commissioners in Miami Dade receiving close to $800,000 a year to spend without justification, almost a million. Why and for what?
The opposite’s of the mayor are brutally punished. The private offices of the mayor of Miami Lakes were torched and completely destroyed. The police said the fire was intentional. So far not found the culprit.
He is not able to approved the county budget yet. We are working without a budget. He is no able to do because he is inepter person, he does not have the capacity to be our mayor and be the leader of the county.
We are one of the areas with more foreclosures in the whole nation.
He increased the salary of his staff, some of them up to 54% and at he same moment he fired a lot of county workers and others he reduced 14% of their salary and benefits. The Administrator Bergess earn the last years $345,000 plus benefits.
His chief of staff Dany Morales earnings were $206,000 takes a leave of absence, and go to Panama, with his permission, earning money at the same time in two places and he said he doesn’t know anything about this situation. What kind of mayor is he that does not know where his chief staff is? Mayor Alvarez says that to reduce the budget he will send his chief of staff back to the police, with a salary of $77,000 and the mayor will not cover the vacancy.
Did Morales realize any useful function before?
Is Morales his step brother? If he is, it’s a nepotism case.
Why Danny Morales is only sergeant after 17 years in the police force? Does he have high School diploma?
He uses the money for the environmental protection buying cars for himself. He said he did because the car is hybrid. He protects his environment… Every day he wakes up us with a new scandal in the newspaper. But if you think the local politicians are rotten corrupted I will give you bad news. The Senate, the Representing House of the United States is the most corrupted part of the government in the USA. Our actual president have the same illness of our Mayor. There are more than 30,000 lobbyists in Washington who spend more than $300 hundred millions every year. Does any one know where that money is going?
We have to control the government or the government will control us.
I repeat, we are loosing the Democracy in the hands of the politicians. Because we the citizen have become lazy and careless.
We lost our power. They try to make us think that we cannot do anything about it, and a lot of us believed that because they have the power and we are the servants, but the reality is different. “We are the sovereign and they are our servants.” We have to push very hard to revert the equation to the original form.
“We want our country back and we want it right know”
