Fired fireman sues city to get old job back
Former Venice firefighter Michael Stephenson sues the City of Venice, Mayor Frank Proctor, and the Venice City Council in Sarasota County, seeking reinstatement to his firefighter post. He claims due process violations, denial of pre termination hearings, and back pay plus increases, while noting he was fired for five days absent without notice. The city cites a 1979 firing for missing work after a criminal allegation later deemed unfounded.
