In January 2010, several local unions (including AFSCME Local 121 and Transport Workers Union Local 291) gave their support to the effort. However, this effort ultimately fell short of collecting the 52,108 petition signatures needed to force a recall. Recall campaign The recall effort against Mayor Álvarez began in late-September 2010, shortly after the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners passed a budget which both raised property taxes and increased the salaries of county employees.Tester Hank Hamacher Brian Braman Begins Recall Battle With Miami-Dade Mayor https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/braman-begins-recall-battle-with-miami-dade-mayor/2050830/ NBC 6 South Florida 6 July 2021 27 September 2010 The property tax increase was harshly received by voters of the county, who were still notably reeling from the impact of the Great Recession.Miami-Dade voters recall Mayor Carlos Alvarez https://www.cbsnews.com/news/miami-dade-voters-recall-mayor-carlos-alvarez/ www.cbsnews.com CBS News Associated Press 6 July 2021 16 March 2011 The recall effort was led and financially-backed by billionaire Norman Braman.Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez Recalled https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/landslide-recall-miami-dade-mayor-carlos-alvarez/story?id=13148353 2020-08-31 ABC News en Election results 2011 Miami-Dade County mayoral recall electionDade - Election Results https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/FL/Dade/28180/43223/en/summary.html results.enr.clarityelections.com Miami-Dade County 6 July 2021Vote on recallVotesPercentage Yes 183,652 88.10 No 24,796 11.90 Totals 208,448 100 Voter turnout 17.27% References Category:2011 United States county executive elections Miami-Dade County 2011 2011 recall Miami-Dade recall Miami-Dade recall
