It's kind of hard to believe, but it looks like Joe Carollo has run out of money. In no small part, his ability to lean on deep pocket developers and others looking to buy a vote on the Miami City Commission have come to realize that Alex Diaz de la Portilla is now the top dog on the commission and that he is the guy whose hands have to be greased in order to get stuff done in the city.

It couldn't have come at a worse time for Carollo, because at some point someone is going to have to come to grips with the fact that his almost 18 month stall over dealing with the Code Violations that Bill Fuller revealed at his May 2019 press conference in front of City Hall can't continue to be ignored, especially since it now appears that Carollo has all but abandoned the property, as evidenced by the comments included in a Non-Service Return on by a process server looking for Carollo's wife, Marjorie, that claimed the property is now, "vacant and vandalized.

There's not a lot of information that I was able to find on Velocity Investments, LLc, that is the company that is suing Marjorie in Small Claims Court, but between the fact that Carollo's $2 million house in Coconut Grove is now not only vacant, but vandalized,  and Marjorie seems to owe somebody enough money that they've decided to go after them in court doesn't biode well for the guy who not that long ago was bragging about how he was going to run the city from his seat on the city commission.

Perhaps Adele Valencia - the city's almost non-existent Code Compliance Director might be encouraged enough by theis news to actually do her job and send code compliance inspectors over to 3230 Morris Lane, in the grove and see what's wp?

It's always going to be, It's Miami, Bitches!
