About three dozen activists and residents from Coconut Grove milled about the grassy patch in front of Miami City Hall Thursday morning in the heat — for nada. The residents — most of the same people who went to speak against the cutting up of the Grove at every redistricting meeting — want to convince […]
What the hell happened? People are still asking themselves that after last week’s special meeting in Miami to give final approval to the redistricting. It looked like the residents who had begged to keep Coconut Grove together in the new map had won. It seemed, from the meeting before last week’s, that they got their […]
It’s been almost three years since Steven Miro sued the city of Miami for wrongful termination after Commissioner Joe Carollo fired him. The former aide says it was retaliation when he reported that the commissioner used his office and public dollars to campaign for Alex Diaz de la Portilla when the latter was running for […]
Before the Miami city commission could discuss redistricting at Friday’s special meeting, Commissioner Joe Carollo made a special call to order — and laid into a false narrative attack on Commissioner Ken Russell.

Of the 96 people who spoke against new maps that adjust district boundaries to accommodate population growth, 91 […]
Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo can move back into his fancy, posh Coconut Grove house if the city gives final approval to the redistricting maps as they have been drawn, which divides the Grove into three separate districts. The Morris Lane house Carollo reportedly moved out of just to run for office in 2017 has been […]
And Crazy Joe Carollo goes off the reservation on a rabid rant Buried in the Miami city commission meeting last week, dropped during one of Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo‘s disturbed diatribes — which is maybe why nobody caught on to it — was news that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the Miami […]
We may get some answers at Thursday’s city commission meeting What is it with the city of Miami Police and car crashes?
