Miami Mayor Recalled...

ashleemw · March 2011

Saw this on the local news this morning: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/landslide-recall-miami-dade-mayor-carlos-alvarez/story?id=13148353

Haven't read much about it, but I didn't really know Mayors could be recalled and voted out... Way to go, Miami!

Decidedly partisan article, but maybe Rick Scott will be next.

Citizens have now formed a Facebook group to advocate his recall. This after less than two months in office. But they should probably speak with Rep. Rick Kriseman first.

Last week, Kriseman introduced a bill that would allow the recall of state officials.

I know what you?re thinking: Scary that we don?t already have that right.

Yep. It?s past time. Thank you, Rep. Kriseman.

HB 787 should be automatic, considering the legislature is controlled by Republicans, who often tout accountability as a cornerstone of their party.

We?ll soon see whether for them (and their tea party supporters), accountability only applies to teachers and welfare recipients. Or whether it?s for all Floridians, regardless of position, pocketbook or political persuasion.

I totally wasn't instigating a "let's kick out Rick Scott" message with this thread...

OK I just read the article and now I give this a double thumbs up. Will be checking out the FB group when I get home.
