Fired City Employees

Saratoga, CA: (Dec-06-07) Chief Edward Moore and his former assistant, James Cornick, brought a lawsuit against the city, alleging that they were wrongfully terminated by former deputy public safety commissioner Erin Dreyer. A Saratoga County grand jury report cited Dreyer for abusing her office's power and trying to force Moore to retire, punishing political enemies and not prosecuting people with connections to her. The federal lawsuits filed by the city's police chief and retired assistant chief reached settlement after the city agreed to pay the two men $65,000 each under the agreements approved by the City Council. Sources claim that the city will pay $40,000 of the $130,000 in costs, and its insurance policy will cover the rest. [TIMES UNION: CITY EMPLOYEES]
