Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez faced a recall vote and got sent home. Not only he lost but he got such a beating (average of 9 votes for recall vs 1 for stay) that you cold almost call Social Services and lodge a complaint for abuse.

Mayor Alvarez got elected under a platform of reform and austerity. Instead he forced a baseball stadium nobody wanted on taxpayers and then raised property taxes to pay for it. He added insult to injury by raising the paychecks of his staff and getting a BMW out of the public monies.

Withe so many other MAIGs already down the drain one way or the other, the rest might be wonder if the whole Bloomberg Club for Local Politicians is jinxed. I really do not care, the less the merrier we are.
