District 2 could be kept whole under new Miami redistricting map
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.
It was unwarranted. Carollo thinks Russell was not only behind the recall two years ago — and he is still butt hurt — but also the one behind the “little blog” story about his house being drawn into his district to protect it from the many lawsuits against him that he is bound to lose.
The redistricting process in the city of Miami has turned into a land grab.
A battle erupted Friday between Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla in District 1 and Chairwoman Christine King in District 5 over who would get the Wharf Miami, site of a proposed $185-million mixed use project with a 165-room hotel.
