If you live in Miami Dade County...
At commission meeting the budget millage will be discussed and set.
When we voted on the Pets’ Trust, almost 500,000 people said yes to a
millage of 0.1079
mills for our animals, which translates to an average of $15 a year
for each homeowner. Because of rising home values and so many new
properties being built, the coffers are overflowing with money this
year.
If
you recall, 65% of voters said yes to paying a little more in taxes for
a great benefit. Shockingly and tragically, the vote was never honored
by the mayor and local officials. Democracy failed. Yes in Miami, Florida, United States democracy failed in clear transparency.
Citizens,
voters, and taxpayers will be attending the commission meeting to show
our concern and continued support for the initiatives of the Pet's
Trust. We will be asking that the commissioner set aside a dedicated
fund of 0.1079 mills for animal programs as the people voted. We will be
asking the commissioner to honor our votes. In our country, we the
people tell officials what we want, via our votes, something we have
been doing for over 200 years. Elected officials work for us and it is
their job, their duty to listen to the people.

WHERE: Downtown Government Center, 101 NW 1st St. Miami, FL 33128
