Our one-line summary of the official wording.
In plain words
Our summary of the official materials and local reporting.
- County Commissioners are now paid a fixed salary of $6,000 a year that is written into the County Charter. source: miamidade.gov
- This would let a five-member Salary Commission, picked by five officials such as the Chief Judge and the State Attorney, set Commissioner pay each year, and the County Commission could not change its decision. source: miamidade.gov
- The new pay could not be more than state law would set for commissioners in counties without a charter. source: miamidade.gov
- Money: No set amount on the ballot; the current Charter salary is $6,000 a year, and any new salary is capped at what state law sets for non-charter county commissioners. source: miamidade.gov
