Facebook Posts by Shickshinny Mayor About Fire Official Lead To Lawsuit

A PA borough Mayor has been hit with a defamation suit after a Facebook post that allegedly referred to a fire official as a "crackhead, adulteress, and thief".

A series of Facebook posts made on April 28th 2018 by Mayor Brenda McDaniels Long led to the defamation suit. The posts say that Shickshinny Borough Colunteer Fire Company officer Holly Morris used a loan from the fire company for gambling and other personal expenses.

The posts also suggested that Morris was cheating on her husband and that she used illegal drugs.

The suit claims that Morris suffered loss to her reputation and social standing as a result of the posts.
