No, not a new mayor in Tahoma. Miami, Florida has recalled its mayor. Why, you ask? The fool thought he could raise property taxes and folks would go along with it, sucking it up even as their property values continue to move south, job creation is zero, growth is negative, and there is no relief in sight. So, a successful recall was carried out, he has been removed, and an election is coming up with several candidates vying for the post.
Now, will these candidates listen to the voters? Will there be some recognition of voters concerns? Time will tell. Miami is an interesting city: a vibrant, coastal location, beyond the cotton belt, home to cruise ships, the Dolphins, and a large population of recent immigrants. The next mayor may be a Latino, with roots beyond our borders: nothing new here-welcome to the club.
We will watch developments in Miami and prepare for the election of the new mayor of the city.
