Steve Kent is out as chief administrative officer with Mount Pearl city council, in an acrimonious split that is spilling from city hall to the courthouse. "They have been looking at the private messages between myself and my family, my friends, fellow residents of Mount Pearl and others."

His emailed statement called his employment relationship with the City of Mount Pearl irreparably harmed. Kent is former mayor of Mount Pearl, provincial cabinet minister and deputy premier.
