Trading places with Commissioners Joe Martinez and Javier Souto, Katy Sorenson has joined the unreformable majority in a vote and a photo from the Miami Herald. Haven't really studied the issue, nor did I watch the meeting, but the Miami Herald Editorial Board seems to think she is wrong-headed for having voted to adjourn the meeting without having set a tax rate (cop-out). We know the rest of those pictured (Rolle, Jordan, Diaz Edmonson Barreiro and Vile Natacha Seijas) are just about always wrong on important issues, so the Herald could have a point. I know one thing for sure, I wouldn't want my picture included with this crew. Readers are saying Sorenson got a bum rap from the Herald. Be sure to read the comments.Monday, July 27, 2009
What is Wrong With This Picture? The Inclusion of Commissioner Katy Sorenson. By Geniusofdespair

The Herald did an injustice by including Sorenson on that list. She made a motion to approve the rollback rate in the first hour of the first day on millage discussions. She called out her colleagues for not setting a rate themselves, and she voted for the default maneuver only as a way to get to the responsible end result.
And that comes from someone I'm sure you would consider philosophically ying to her political yang.

Thank you not a moderate...
I watched it and Sorenson tried over and over to set the millage rate and it kept failing to pass. She and Moss were the only ones that seemed to have any guts on this issue -- pretty clueless of the Miami Herald to portray it this way. Either they didn't understand what was actually happening or more likely that the Miami Herald Editorial Board didn't "actually watch" the meeting. What does that tell you about our local paper?????
"GUTS"????? Guts is if any of those spineless turds would stand up to the public employee unions that are sucking the taxpayers dry, THATS GUTS! Not setting an obscenely high millage rate (don't bother me with minuscae of a couple of decimal points).
I watched the entire hearing, both actually. Katy is not a leader on this issue. She believes whatever staff tells her. That is a problem, especially when the staff you are relying on is as decietful as this bunch. You have a County Manager that outright lied to the Commission on a $2.5 Billion dollar project, aka the Marlins Stadium. I am sorry, we can get the same level of service for less than what we pay now if we had a half competent administration!
She is a leader on the UDB, she also leads on spending, higher taxes and bigger government. It's like she never left Chicago with her pandering to unions.
Fine, disagree with her position on county services and the price we should pay for them, but that isn't the point of this blog entry.
The Herald not only dropped the ball on this one, they didn't bother to show up for the game.
As other readers commented, Sorenson pushed to have the Commission do their duty and set a millage.
VNS being the philosophical opposite declared that the Commission couldn't possibly set the millage, made a big game out of pretending to care about firefighters and then tried several times to throw the property appraiser under the bus.
