Former Miami city managers call for the resignation or investigation of current manager Art Noriega for allegedly spending millions of taxpayer dollars on overpriced office furniture from his wife’s company. A federal court has authorized the US Marshals to seize the assets of Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo to satisfy a $63 million judgment. The court order directs the seizure of Carollo’s possessions, including his Coconut Grove home, after he lost a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit. Tensions escalated at a Miami Commission meeting, leading to a near-brawl between Commissioners Miguel Gabela and Joe Carollo, resulting in the vote to terminate city attorney Vicky Mendez.
