EYE ON MIAMI: New Cars/Vans Paid for With Miami Dade County Taxpayer Money Have Never Been Used. By Geniusofdespair:

Re-posting from Eye On Miami

From a Channel 10 Report:

"Local 10 uncovered more than 100 vehicles, paid for by Miami-Dade taxpayers that have been sitting idle in the Earlington Heights Metrorail garage for years. In total, an estimated $965,000 worth of taxpayer bought vehicles" have never been used.

Sure doesn't make sense that they are laying off people. I guess this counts as a boondoggle. Gimenez's answer for the idle cars: "Years ago the county significantly reduced the size of its fleet and decided to keep current vehicles on the road longer. By that time, the idle vehicles had already been bought and delivered. Gimenez said the idle vehicles will eventually be added to the county's fleet, as needed."

  1. The condition of the taxpayers is same all over the world the money with we earn by hard work and labour we give to the government but the government do nothing with our money instead all the money go to nowhere the city of Miami do nothing to improve the condition of the city. Yes definitely year ago effort where made but again the situation is the same as it was earlier.
