Strong corrective action | 2:42 a.m. Sept. 29, 2009
What is wrong with this lady? She needs to quit wasting our tax dollars with this personal vendetta and get back to work!

Strong "corrective action" is needed to remind everyone that they cannot use their position of power to attack employees. This is far too common in government agencies.

I can't believe the County has to take this guy back, much less at high pay and doing important work. He was consorting with a guy who was running a prostitution ring for goodness sake! How can you allow a prosecutor who is running around with a criminal -- and one who is under investigation by his own office -- to remain employed? This is exactly what's wrong with government. Our tax dollars actually have to go to pay this guy. She did the right thing by firing him.

Are you Miller's cousin? Please get all the facts right before you spout off. There are issues on both sides here. It is an ugly mess. You would be wise not to take sides. Probably what should happen is they both should leave the office for 6 months so work could get done.

Another waste of our taxpayer money. The County is great at wasting money. They both should go, if they can't focus on the job. Lorna Miller is using her power to get back at this guy.
Dis-Appointed | 10:33 a.m. Sept. 29, 2009
I am disappointed that Mayor Corroon would take such a dry approach to Lohra's misconduct. I was impressed when he stood up on the RSL Soccer deal, but when it comes to standing up against people within government, he looks like an insider politician.

He refused to take a hard stance on the Planning director mess. Now, instead of issuing a statement that, while he may not have the ability to sanction an independently elected official, he reiterates his strong stand against employee retaliation and misconduct by anyone at the County.

Seems the Mayor would rather play insider politics and not upset the DA than reassure the thousands of employees at the County under his supervision that they will not be retaliated against for filing legitimate grievances.

Instead, he just washed his hands of it. Poor leadership. Disappointing, Mayor.
Let her run her office | 10:52 a.m. Sept. 29, 2009
If there are going to be problems with any particular employee, let Miller do what it takes to get her office running efficiently.

The problem is they forced her to take him back, what do you think is going to happen when the boss is forced to take back an employee with whom she has problems?

They're going to have problems!!! Duh! It's her office, let her hire and fire whom she pleases so long as it's not discrimination or harassment.

@Let her run her office:

Clearly you don't know how government jobs work. You can't fire people at will, it must be for cause. That is what Mr. Morgan appealed in his firing- and won!

The only reason there are problems is because Mr. Morgan ran against MS Miller for DA. She is a poor loser, and dreamed this whole thing up just to fire him. The Board said that no confidential information was leaked, so she had no cause to fire him.

And MS Miller's smarmy response when she lost was "if you are a general busted down to a private, everybody knows you have done something wrong." That was her mistake- the Board did not "bust him down to a private," but she sure did. She made a 20 year veteran do menial tasks in the office so that he KNEW who was in charge- that SHE is the general.

Good riddance!
