I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow…

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

How lonesome is that whistler? Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling on Garcetti v. Ceballos appears to have closed the door on public employees, at all levels of government, safely reporting governmental malfeasance.

I’ve asked a Council Member what this ruling means for Chapel Hill and our town staff.

Do we need additional employee protections to encourage reports of willful misconduct?
