News about Joe Carollo

On Thursday, Commissioner Miguel Gabela, 59, jumped out of his chair and charged toward Commissioner Joe Carollo, 68, before a staff member rushed to arrest him, bringing the meeting to a close close. Before rising up and rushing toward Carollo, Gabela said, "You are a liar." You are a tiny little man,' Carollo said. You want to play Tony Soprano, but I'll play right back to you.' Following a lawsuit alleging real estate fraud by her and her husband, the near-brawl on Thursday was sparked by a vote to prolong City Attorney Victoria Méndez's term for five months.

After plans were laid out for a string of 'tiny homes' on Biscayne Bay island, Fisher Island locals demanded that authorities find another home to lump them in. Scientists, water sports enthusiasts, and homeless activists raged at the plans late last week, sparking outrage. It comes after the board of county commissioners in Miami-Dade asked city officials to present plans on how to reduce the city's homeless population. Art Noriega, the City Manager of Virginia Key Island, suggested encampment on the northern tip of the island's northern tip, next to a sewage works and a biking path as a solution. The solution to Miami's 1,500-strong homeless crisis echoed a similar plan launched by Donald Trump earlier this year to address the issue around the country. However, Miamians sluggishly dismissed any suggestion for the area due to fears over tourism, safety, and the wellbeing of the camp's future residents, who have now been put on hold.
