And let's not forget another MAIG mayor. Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez got recalled by the biggest beating in a recall in US History. His "crime" was raising property taxes and then wasting them in a baseball stadium nobody wanted plus giving his staff super duper raises and many luxuries.

It's said that politicians are in the second oldest profession, which is an offshoot of the OLDEST profession.
ReplyDeleteI can't argue that. What amazes me is not that politicians are whores, it's that they sell themselves so CHEAP!
