There has been information trickling into me about this matter over the past few weeks, but mostly I have more questions then answers, so I thought I would throw this one out there and see if anything sticks.
What we do know is that Shawn Tornow was terminated as an assistant city attorney by the Huether administration. But what is unclear is if that termination is final. Tornow was considered a civil service employee. Unlike a political appointee such as former city clerk, Debra Owen, when a civil service employee is terminated they are allowed to have a hearing if they so choose to dispute the termination . . . and this is where the questions begin.
• Is Tornow using ‘procedural artifices’ to delay his civil service board hearings?
• What would he gain by delaying this hearing?
• Could he still be receiving a salary and accrued seniority since his termination is not final?
• Could he be purposely delaying the hearing to continue to receive this pay?
• Does anyone know the status of his hearing and if he is still on the payroll?
Concerned citizens want to know – ASAP!
