Michael Lewis in Miami Today says of the County Commission's decision to adjourn rather than set a tax rate (their most important duty by the way):Miami-Dade is playing a perilous game of hot potato with a 13% tax increase plan, exacerbating the worst recession in 70 years. And:
Those who orchestrated the game expect it to play out this way:
Commissioners can decry Mr. Garcia's (Property Appraiser) huge hike, though he had no hand in it.
Who is responsible for orchestrating the game? Could it be Vile Natacha Seijas? Over Chairman Moss's call of "Out of Order", Natacha proposed to end the meeting and leave the tax rate up to the Property Appraiser. The Commission voted to overrule Moss and listen to their actual leader. Lewis says "The rate ceiling that Mr. Garcia was required to announce would raise county taxes on a $250,000 home an average of $317.50, varying with exemptions."

Now it all makes sense. NATACHA the missing link.
Make no mistake about it, total denial about their responsibility.
I can hear it now, "well if that's what the newly elected appraiser says we have to do, we are just going to have to follow his advice."
