BROOKSVILLE - Hernando County has fired its emergency management director for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with his secretary.
Hernando officials say the romantic relationship cost taxpayers more than $9,000 in overtime that Tom Leto approved for the woman. The overtime was the most received by any county employee - other than firefighters and paramedics - in a 13-month span.
Leto was fired Friday. He had overseen emergency management in Hernando County since 2003.
Officials say Leto and the woman, who has been arrested for falsifying payroll records, traveled together at county expense.
Leto says he plans to appeal his firing and may sue.
