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.

That’s the question everyone was asking on Tuesday after it was revealed that Miami-Dade State Attorney Kathy Fernandez-Rundle recused herself in the case of accusations against Miami’s Three Amigos by former Police Chief Art Acevedo before he was fired.
