Miami mayor Carlos Alvarez was voted out of office this week and one of the front-runners to replace him in the office is none other than legendary 2 Live Crew rapper Luther Campbell. Alvarez became the first mayor in Miami's history to be removed from the post Tuesday when 88 percent of voters opted to end his term a year early.
"When I take Mr. Alvarez's job, I'll review the county budget with a fine-toothed comb," Campbell wrote Wednesday in a Miami New Times column. "When I ran my record company, every year we would first go over what was making revenue for us and beef that side up. Then we would cut the areas where we were not generating revenue. The first place we looked was payroll. I'll do the same with the county budget."
