A Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex worker has been fired after an anonymous letter sent to city staff outlined concerns over his previous career in the sex-entertainment industry.
Former Buckeye resident Geoff Mena, the former employee of Surprise's Community and Recreation Services Department, said he was the victim of discrimination. However, when city officials sought Mena's permission Wednesday to publicly disclose their reasons for firing him, he declined, city spokesman Ken Lynch said.
Mena said in an interview last week that he was terminated around Sept. 11. He said then that he was not given a reason for his firing but added that if it had anything to do with the anonymous letter concerning his previous career, he thought the firing was a violation of his freedom of speech and was discriminatory.
