Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo Faces Political Retaliation Allegations

On the latest episode of 'This Week in South Florida,' Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo addressed heated allegations of political retaliation and the 'weaponization of government' during a contentious commission meeting. Governor Ron DeSantis recently vetoed a bill that would have repealed a key provision of Florida’s Wrongful Death Act, siding with concerns that removing caps on damages for medical malpractice could increase costs and frivolous lawsuits, a decision criticized by those impacted by existing limits. Kevin Guthrie, Florida's emergency management chief, discussed the state's evolving hurricane response strategies as the new season begins under updated protocols since the Trump and DeSantis administrations. The episode also featured perspectives from Sabrina Davis, an opponent of Florida’s so-called 'Free Kill' law, and Jorge Colina, former Miami Police chief. In sports, four-star offensive tackle Johnnie Jones visited Florida State, praising the new coaching staff's run-heavy approach and their commitment to player development. Jones appreciated the honest feedback from current players and noted the strong community ties among FSU athletes and alumni.
