Councilmember Dan Sheppard responds to allegations
Councilmember Dan Sheppard has responded to allegations made by former Cape Coral city manager Rob Hernandez:
“RE: Defamatory accusations made by Former City Manager Roberto Hernandez
“At this time, I cannot go into details or comment on specifics of this matter. I will say that I am shocked to hear of these horrible, and false, accusations against myself and other council members. I do not take lightly his cowardice of involving other city employees in hopes of a monetary gain for himself.
“Being a resident in our city for 25 years, I am grateful for the life experiences my family and children have growing up here. Cape Coral is a melting pot of people from all over the country and all over the world, in which diverse cultures and ethnicities come together; we built a great community, so I am appalled that someone is attempting to take that from us. As your district two councilman I will aggressively work to remove anyone that attempts to plant a virus of hate in our community! I pray to God to intervene in this matter, and to strengthen and bless our community as a whole.
“Respectfully,
“Dan Sheppard
“Council Member District 2
“City of Cape Coral”
