Whistleblower Sues Kissimmee Over Termination | Orlando News

Former Kissimmee City Attorney Olga Sanchez de Fuentes is suing the city after being fired in February, alleging retaliation for whistleblowing. She’d served over a decade and sought official ethics guidance — a move legal experts say shows due diligence. Just seven days after giving legal advice, the mayor began searching for her replacement, and she was terminated just two months later — a timeline experts say fits textbook whistleblower cases.

Florida’s whistleblower laws protect her right to seek reinstatement, while the city remains silent, citing ongoing litigation.
