runoff ruse

Miami Springs has had a campaign runoff system since 1973. It has endured 35 years because it works. If there were 3 people running and one got 36%, one 35%, and one 34% of the vote, the 365 would win without a majority of voters even voting for him! They SAY they are trying to save 30k, even while they are wasting HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of our tax dollars!! They have wasted TEN TIMES the proposed 30k on the bathrooms alone! Where is their concern about that???? For them to say that being an incumbent is of no advantage is total BS!!! and to NOT have to get at least a majority of the vote to be elected is a blatant power grab, under the disguise of being fiscally responsible. If they had been fiscally responsible before, when it meant HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars on the bathrooms or CC, we might be able to believe them. As it is, no way.
