After tremendous backlash from the community after learning that Mayor Rob Medina was not going to call for Councilman Filiberto’s resignation, he flipped this evening and publicly did so.
This comes after Councliman Kenny Johnson had already added the item to the agenda to do the same at this Thursday’s meeting. Filiberto was arrested for DUI, Felony Cocaine charges, amongst others.
In a Facebook post a few moments ago he said the following:
As Mayor of the City of Palm Bay, I want to share with the members of our community that I encourage Councilman Peter Filiberto to voluntarily resign.
