Newly released court records offering insight - into what might have led Pasco sheriff’s deputies to descend on Massad’s house back in February. Accusations the former mayor was smoking crack on a daily basis and practicing medicine without a license.
Now, with its former mayor facing serious charges, its acting mayor in trouble for allegedly interfering with the investigation, and a city council that seems paralyzed by dysfunction, some are questioning if it’s time for Port Richey to give up its city status and just become part of Pasco County.
