We have also built an even more effective, efficient government to save you money.

          MIAMI-DADE ( October 30, 2025 )–

          La alcaldesa del condado de Miami-Dade, Daniella Levine Cava, emitió la siguiente declaración en respuesta a la conferencia de prensa celebrada hoy por el director financiero de Florida, Blaise Ingoglia: 

          “Desde que asumí el cargo de alcaldesa, me he asegurado de que Miami-Dade sea una de las administraciones locales más transparentes y fiscalmente responsables del país. Desde el principio, mi administración ha buscado maneras de devolver dinero a los contribuyentes y mantener bajos los costos para nuestras familias, al mismo tiempo que invertimos en sus prioridades. 

          Hemos reducido la tasa de los impuestos dos años consecutivos, alcanzando la tasa más baja desde 1982, y la hemos mantenido a ese nivel sin subirla. Cada año de mi administración hemos aprobado nuestro presupuesto con un sólido apoyo bipartidista, mientras seguimos absorbiendo reducciones en los fondos estatales y mandatos sin presupuesto. También hemos construido un gobierno aún más eficaz y eficiente para ahorrarles dinero; optimizado los presupuestos; recortado los salarios de los ejecutivos; facilitado como nunca antes la creación o el crecimiento de negocios; y hemos modernizado sistemas como el de permisos para reducir la burocracia. 

          Cada año hemos aumentado nuestra inversión en seguridad pública y aplicación de la ley. De hecho, la Oficina del Sheriff recibió una cifra histórica de más de mil millones de dólares este año. Al mismo tiempo, lideramos con una gestión fiscal responsable y gastamos los impuestos de manera inteligente en las prioridades que más importan a nuestros residentes, como vivienda, transporte, oportunidades económicas e infraestructura, incluyendo la modernización de nuestro aeropuerto, el lanzamiento de un nuevo servicio de autobús rápido, y la mejora de nuestra infraestructura para proteger viviendas y negocios contra las inundaciones ayudando a bajar el costo del seguro contra inundaciones para muchos hogares. 

           Agradecemos la comunicación y la colaboración con el estado y nuestra comunidad, mientras seguimos adelante con un gobierno eficiente que cumple con sus prioridades y maximiza cada dólar de los contribuyentes.”
