A judge has permanently dismissed two of three counts in a civil lawsuit against Councilman Orlando Gudes, but ruled that a third count could be reworked and refiled.
A Hillsborough County judge in the 13th Judicial Circuit Court dropped a civil lawsuit against Tampa City Councilman Orlando Gudes last week for a second time.
The City of Tampa has apologized to an employee for the way she was treated by Councilor Orlando Gudes. The city has also settled with the victim for $200,000 after a report found that the former chair harassed her on multiple occasions and made inappropriate comments about her underaged daughter.
