Miami-Dade Criticized for Hiring Ex-Convict with Public Corruption, Embezzlement History

Miami-Dade County has come under scrutiny for promoting Christopher Kovanes, an ex-Davie official who spent over a decade in prison for public corruption and a contract scam, to oversee department contracts. Kovanes was also convicted of money laundering and embezzling taxpayer money. The county's inspector general's report highlights a lack of formal policies requiring departments to review employees' criminal histories when they change job positions. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and COO Jimmy Morales have faced criticism for the decision.
