Here’s the news about Lantana Mayor Dave Stewart:

The Florida Commission on Ethics received a complaint from a Lantana resident in January.
     After being notified of the complaint by the Ethics Commission, Stewart went to the home of Catherine Padilla the resident who filed the complaint.
     According to police reports of the incident, Stewart claims Padilla locked the door and closed her blinds and he then returned to his vehicle and left.
     Padilla reported to police a similar claim, but said Stewart grabbed the door handle and tried to open it.
     Padilla has claimed somewhere around 2014 or 2015 she was lobbying for speed bumps in her neighborhood and the Mayor asked for sexual favors for his vote.
     Stewart has denied asking for sexual favors in order to guarantee his vote.
     The Ethics Commission is investigating the complaint and doesn't have a time line for the completion of the investigation.
     In late January, copies of the police reports of the incident at Padilla's home were anonymously mailed to various news media offices.
