Episode Details

Former Kissimmee City Attorney Olga Sanchez de Fuentes is suing the city after being fired in February, alleging retaliation for whistleblowing. She’d served over a decade and sought official ethics guidance — a move legal experts say shows due diligence. Just seven days after giving legal advice, the mayor began searching for her replacement, and she was terminated just two months later — a timeline experts say fits textbook whistleblower cases. The lawsuit also claims the mayor tried to smear her by suggesting she mishandled city funds, which she denies. Florida’s whistleblower laws protect her right to seek reinstatement, while the city remains silent, citing ongoing litigation.
