"The lawsuit, brought by a company that owns Ball & Chain and Taquerias el Mexicano, accused city administrators of wrongfully issuing code violations and slow-walking permits."
"The suit accused Commissioner Joe Carollo of spearheading a City Commission vote to create new noise restrictions that specifically targeted Ball & Chain."
"Carollo was found personally liable for violating the free speech rights of two Little Havana businessmen after they supported his opponent in the city's 2017 election."
"A jury awarded the businessmen $63.5 million after finding that Carollo tried to destroy their reputations and pressured city officers to target their properties."
