Florida mayor resigns with mass email to residents alleging corruption in small-town government

A Florida mayor abruptly resigned after outlining a pattern of "corruptive behavior" throughout the small town's government in an explosive letter to all its residents last Friday.

"What is going on with this small town is all wrong," now-former Madeira Beach Mayor Jim Rostek told Fox 13 on Wednesday. "I am sorry that I have to walk away. It is for my health. Please keep up the fight. I will always try to have your back. Please continue to do what's right."

Rostek's allegations pointed to City Manager Robin Ignacio Gomez and his "discretionary" and "discriminatory" code enforcement, per the June 14 letter reviewed by Fox News Digital.
