Voting on 'strong mayor' begins today |
In a little over two weeks, Carlos Alvarez will either become Miami-Dade's most powerful mayor or its most impotent. The results of a Jan. 23 referendum to change the structure of county government will not only define crucial powers over hiring and management but also whether Alvarez or his opponents on the County Commission will have the political momentum needed to set policy in a massive system that oversees such far-flung issues as affordable housing, police protection and property taxes.
