Cars Sit Unused for 5 Years in Maimi

by | May 12, 2012 | Politics

Have you ever bought a brand new cars only to forget where you put it? How about 300 of them? Probably not – unless you’re Miami-Dade County, which was recently reunited with 298 vehicles it bought brand new between 2006 and 2007.

The county “discovered” this fleet of no-mileage vehicles after reading about them in a Spanish-language newspaper there (see the source for more images). Most of the misplaced motorcade is made up of Toyota Prius hybrids whose warranties either expired with very few miles on the odo or will very soon.

Does this surprise anyone?  Governments everywhere just waste and waste and waste.

This is why governments MUST become more transparent so everyone can see where the money is being spent.
