Six days and six nights have passed and it's hard to keep track of County Mayor Carlos Gimenez' tax rate fumble. One day he wants to raise the taxes to ensure firefighters and librarians keep their jobs and turning Miami-Dade county into a domestic pet sanctuary. The next he wants to forgo county services and layoff some folks. So which is it?I mean was he so out of touch with the taxpayer that he actually proposed a tax increase in one of the poorest counties in the country. Lets not forget that our median income is $44,000 for a family of four. I tend to repeat this over and over because people forget often due to the massive fraud perpetrated by the people in South Florida where "Fake It 'til You Make It" is a continuous running theme.
We shouldn't hold our breath though, Mayor Gimenez may have genuinely had an epiphany and back tracked his tax increase proposal, but given that it has only been six days we at HIH figure we'd give him until the end of the month to know for certain where he stands on the tax rate issue. Remember your pledge Mayor Gimenez we surely wont let you forget!
