MIAMI - Community leaders and former elected officials are expected to call for Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo's resignation on Tuesday.

This comes after he was ordered to pay more than $63 million dollars in damages to two Little Havana business owners.

It was a five-year battle with between the business owners, Bill Fuller and his partner Martin Pinilla, and the commissioner. Fuller and Pinilla, who own the popular Ball & Chain bar and lounge along with several other properties, claim they lost millions after Carollo sent code enforcement and police after them for supporting a political rival back in 2017.
