The Orlando Sentinel reports that Osceola County Sheriff Russ Gibson fired Deputy Marco Lopez last week after he refused to resign. In a termination letter, the sheriff cited federal court rulings that say a sheriff can fire a deputy who files to run against him. It's called lack of loyalty.
Florida law says a law enforcement officer who runs against an incumbent must resign upon qualifying for the ballot. Lopez acknowledged he'd need to resign but says he doesn't have to until qualification, which is determined in May 2020. He tells the newspaper his firing was retribution, adding that there would be no conflict of interest if he continued to work.
Well that’s just an asshat law. Sounds more like the Good O’l Boy network to me.

2020 Democrats join Supreme Court protest against state abortion bans'Vote them out!' Protestors demonstrated across the country against recently-passed restrictive abortion laws, rallying in front of the Georgia Capitol Building in Atlanta, lining the streets outside City Hall in Philadelphia, and more. 自由的美国 If women cared about literally anything else as much as they care about killing their children in utero, imagine what they could accomplish. They might have even closed the imaginary 'wage gap' by now. I think the progressive bots have failed to identify the reason for these laws. I can sum it up in two words......SCOTUS Showdown!
