Florida Mayor Drops Bombshell Resignation, Accuses Town Council of Rampant Corruption in an Email Sent to Residents
Jim Rostek, the elected Mayor of Madeira Beach, Florida in 2023, abruptly resigned, citing rampant corruption within the townâs government as his reason.
His resignation was accompanied by a scathing email sent to residents on June 14, accusing City Manager Robin Ignacio Gomez of corrupt practices, the Catalyst reported.
Rostek, who took office in April 2023, expressed deep regret and visible emotion about his decision to step down.
âIt brings tears to my eyes that I had to step away, but it just is what it is,â Rostek wrote in the email, adding, âMy hope is that someone at the state level sees this and asks me for an interview because what is going on here is not right.â
The former mayorâs allegations against the city administration range from discriminatory code enforcement to financial improprieties.
âI am sorry to leave. But with a city manager as such, I cannot be or have any part of Gomezâs corrupt behavior, talking in circles, lies, preferential treatment of âsomeâ or discriminatory enforcement practices. As well as the everyday wasting of the tax-payersâ money and trying to justify it,â Rostek wrote. âIn the end, some will go up to the pearly gates and some wonât. I will always do what is ethical and correct, others not so much,â Rostek wrote, as reported by Fox News.
More from Fox 13.
Rostek said the stress of City Hall dealings resulted in a series of health scares.
He explained to FOX 13 that heâs a stickler for ethics, safety and the cityâs liability. He said his efforts to address those issues went nowhere.
âThe city manager refused to implement any policy. He said he would talk to them and I told him, âtalk is cheap.â I said, âyou need to have policy to back up what youâve told them, because when it comes time for a lawsuit, weâre not going to have any ammunition to substantiate,ââ he said. âIf you donât get the small things right, what about the big things?â
Rostek also called out wasteful spending, concerns over the cityâs procurement process and what he called selective or discriminatory enforcement. He said he believes thereâs more.
âGod only knows what else is going on. You donât know what you donât know until you start looking and digging deeper.â
City Manager Robin Gomez told Fox 13, âWhile entitled to his opinions, the city has provided answers and resolutions to the comments although not completely supported/agreed/understood by Mr. Rostek. It is unfortunate that the disagreements and misunderstandings of city processes and policies by Mr. Rostek led him to state/list claims of corruption, which are simply baseless and false.â
Anne-Marie Brooks has taken over as mayor, having previously served as a city commissioner.

Pfizer Pro Quo: more evidence emerges that drugmakers cut deal to help Biden win election
Anthony Fauciâs new book has granted the public more detail concerining the truly impeccable timing of Pfizerâs mRNA Covid-19 vaccine trial data rollout.
We already know that Pfizer decided to inexplicably delay publishing the results of their mRNA trial from October 2020 to right after the election, following public and private efforts to prevent President Trump from being granted an âOctober surpriseâ that wouldâve been helpful to his campaign.

In retrospect, the shots were nothing more than junk genetic material. No lives were lost in delaying the distribution of these failed science experiment mRNA injections. Nonetheless, the operation succeeded in taking away a political victory for Trump and delivering it to Biden. At the time, the majority of the public was truly terrified of the Wuhan sniffles, with many voters tethering their vote to the candidate who they believed could best defeat a virus.
In his new book, âOn Call,â Fauci reveals that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "game-changing results" from the (surely rigged) mRNA trial.
Fauci writes:
âOn November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease.â
