Miami City Manager Art Noriega, appointed almost 4 years ago, is under ethical scrutiny after a company run by his wife's family received over $440,000 in city contracts, including a project to furnish his office. Prior to this, from 2009 to 2012, Noriega's then-future wife's furniture company was paid over $1.6 million by the Miami Parking Authority, which Noriega led. The situation has prompted former city managers Joe Arriola and Emilio Gonzalez, along with Congressman Carlos Gimenez, to call for his resignation and a thorough investigation. These calls were discussed on Actualidad Radio with RobertoRTejera and JuanCamiloGG and reported by WLRN and the Miami Herald.

NEW from me and @JoshCeb: Since Miami city manager Art Noriega was appointed to office almost 4 years ago, his wife's company has received over $440,000 in city contracts. That includes remodeling his own office. It presents real ethical questions. https://t.co/iflXtyfu8o
