"I am sorry to leave. But with a city manager as such, I cannot be or have any part of Gomez’s corrupt behavior, talking in circles, lies, preferential treatment of ‘some’ or discriminatory enforcement practices. As well as the everyday wasting of the tax-payers' money and trying to justify it," Rostek wrote. "In the end, some will go up to the pearly gates and some won’t. I will always do what is ethical and correct, others not so much."
