| What does the terminated employee know about the court tower? |
|  The Arizona Republic reported today that Kenny Harris, a top engineer and assistant county manager assigned to supervising the court tower project, has been fired by the Supervisors' hatchet man, county manager David Smith. The circumstances surrounding the firing are extremely suspicious. Harris was fired over using county funds to pay membership dues to his fraternity. Harris's finance manager had APPROVED the payments, and his previous employers had paid the dues. When Smith told Harris he disapproved of the county paying the dues, Harris reimbursed the county for the full cost. Smith still went and fired Harris, didn't even offer him a suspension or lesser penalty.
Harris was not one of the employees disciplined for accepting expensive gifts from contractors working on the court tower. However, he likely knows what really went on since his name shows up in reports. Harris is now filing a lawsuit against the county for wrongful termination. Sources tell us that he will expose a lot of the corruption that took place within the court tower construction. We've also heard that there may have been some racism involved, which wouldn't be surprising since his punishment was so draconian. We also hear that anyone who does not bow down to hatchet man David Smith risks losing their job. It's about time this all comes out. The Supervisors have been able to stop Sheriff Arpaio and County Attorney Andrew Thomas from investigating their corruption. It is unfair what has been done to this man in order to protect the corrupt Supervisors. How much do county taxpayers have to shell out to pay for the Supervisors fighting everyone in order to protect themselves from investigation?
