Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez wants to be a Strong Mayor. By Geniusofdespair

HOT OFF THE PRESS1

Francis Suarez has filed for a change to City of Miami Government to a Strong Mayor. It is an Executive Mayor form of Government right now.  What the change would mean, he would be the City Manager and the Mayor.

Not a good idea. No more strong mayors. After watching Carlos Gimenez destroy the County as a strong mayor, bulling around everyone in County Government, putting in horrendous Department heads, handcuffing transit fixes, hiring people like Alive Bravo and giving favors to long time friends, I would never vote for a strong mayor again.

He is doing a petition drive, no recall provision in paperwork. He has hired a bevy of lawyers to help him. Huge power move.  Also a salary raise for the Mayor is involved.

What is with the armed guards at City Hall during Commission? What is the deal. Maybe the Commissioners should all carry guns and shoot each other.
