How Unusual!? All Candidates Are Against Taxes, Except for Mayor Slesnick and Commissioner Kerdyk

March 20, 2011 1 Comment

All candidates, except for Mayor Slesnick who has consistently pushed for higher taxes, have come out against more taxes.  And thanks to Commissioner Kerdyk, who voted to approve recent tax increases in the worst of times.  I guess Commission Kerdyk would like to be against taxes and vote for taxes at the same time.

(By the way, I called that last two tax increases the Kerdyk Taxes, because he made up the majority and was the swing vote to approve the tax increases.)

Candidate Sanabria states to be against taxes, but since he is supported by the police union, the FOP, his position is not to be believed.  Candidate Quesada is ambiguous about taxes in his public declaration.

    Half of the financial problem of Coral Gables is the exaggerated benefits and salaries of the police and the firefighters, is it not?
