vote NO

The City throws away $400,000 on the CC addition and another $360,000 on the bathrooms, and then wants us to believe they are trying to save us money by NOT having a runoff election. If they were really interested in saving us money they could have saved that $760,000 on those projects. They could have saved us another 100k by NOT paying Santana's electric bills. They could save us another 200k by closing the pool down from Sept-June, but they dont. That supposed 30k that might be saved by not having a runoff election is chump change compared to the money that has disappeared and they have NOT saved on various City projects. We could be stuck next election with somebody that doesnt even have 50% of the people behind them if Amendment 3 passes. Vote NO on Amendment 3.

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.
