Tax Revolt in Miami-Dade

Seems that the fight against wasteful government continues – from Reuters:

Voters in Miami-Dade, one of the most populous U.S. counties, removed Mayor Carlos Alvarez from office in a special vote on Tuesday triggered by popular anger over a hike in property taxes.

With 707 of 829 precincts reporting, official results showed 88 percent of voters backed the effort to oust the once-popular mayor, who is his second four-year term…

Do keep in mind that Alvarez is a Republican – and this means yet another RINO has bit the political dust. The lesson should now be learned by all RINOs – the people aren’t about to tolerate Republicans who are nothing more than tax collectors for Big Government. It isn’t enough to have an “R” after your name: you actually have to carry out the Republican polices of low taxes, tight budgets and accountability to the people.

This is not even close to the end – we’re going to keep up with this through 2012 and beyond.
