County Mayor Carlos Gimenez first proposes an overall property tax increase of 4.06% now it turns out it was actually higher at 5.37%, but he's supposedly made a "U-TURN" according to the Miami Herald and reduced the increase to 4.34%. The beastly county government just can't get small enough for the citizens of Miami-Dade county to avoid ever increasing property taxes. The Mayor may have outlived his usefulness in that he can't seem to nip-tuck the budget enough. It appears the Mayor's pledge is a farce he never truly believed in. Unless the Board of County Commissioners step up and show some leadership property owners will be stuck with a huge tax bill come November!
County government has gone TAX crazy and a RECALL may be in order!
