CHARLES ROBERT SERAPHIN Lawsuit to Be Filed, Alleging "Tortious Interference," Civil Rights Violations, In Firing for Misusing City Resources in Campaign

Former City of St. Augustine 450th celebration employee or contractor CHARLES ROBERT SERAPHIN was fired in October for Little Hatch Act violations and misusing City offices, time, computers and telephones to call a citizen to libel, slander and defame Mayor Nancy Shaver, then a candidate. CHARLES ROBERT SERAPHIN just said he is about to sue the City of St. Augustine, City Manager John Patrick Regan, P.E. for allegedly violating his civil rights and Mayor Shaver for alleged "tortious interference" with his rights as a city employee or contractor. As they say in the Navy, "any port in a storm." For a good time, go watch "The Insider" in which a tobacco company threatens CBS and 60 Minutes with a bogus "tortious interference" claim to suppress Dr. Jeffrey Weigand's interview about tobacco chemistry practices. SERAPHIN asks the City of St. Augustine to preserve all documents. It better, and has a bad record of not doing so.
