WEST WILDWOOD – A former Class II officer in West Wildwood has filed a lawsuit claiming he was fired from his job for writing tickets to political allies of Mayor Christopher Fox, and he was directed to target residents who may not vote for the mayor in future elections, The Press of Atlantic City reports.
