MIAMI - Hialeah councilman Bryan Calvo has filed a lawsuit against Mayor Esteban Bovo related to the overburdened city's 911 call center.

Calvo claims he has asked Bovo on several occasions for access to information to provide potential solutions to the issues with 911. The councilman said he's only been met with resistance from the city and Bovo and that his rights as an elected official were violated.

CBS News Miami's partner The Miami Herald was first to report on concerns over missed 911 calls. Records show that more than 4,000 calls went unanswered between January 1st and May 31st of this year.
