Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez is right about one thing: Voters want “a leaner, more efficient government,” he said, responding to the results of a Miami Herald/el Nuevo Herald poll. But Gimenez doesn’t fully grasp that this means less high-paid bureaucracy and more enhanced services – not the demolition of an essential institution, the Miami-Dade Public Library system, to save the average household $25 a year. If people see their property taxes wisely invested in services that impact quality of life and the value of real estate in their communities – well-maintained and operated parks, libraries, and roads, friendly not only to drivers but bicyclists and pedestrians – then, we’re happier donors to the cause of government spending.
