LPSC Employee Ordered Reinstated

The First Circuit ruled that a decision by the Civil Service Commission confirming the firing of a Public Service Commission employee was "arbitrary and capricious." The court ruled that the Commission's policy must be read strictly because of the potential penalties to the employee. The Advocate reports that the employee claims he was fired for cooperating with the Legislative Auditor. The Commission claims the employee was fired for falsifying travel reports.
