6 thoughts on “Investigative firm says mayor’s texts outside scope of investigation, did not violate policies

  1. This entire thing is slimy. I didn’t vote for this individual and don’t understand how the voters of Marion Couinty could have elected him, let alone to multiple terms.

  2. The “investigative process” that the mayor requested from one of his “friendly” law firms lengthened the process past the deadline for the individuals to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Having dealt with the EEOC on many instances, I am quite sure they would have found Hogsett’s text messages very relevant.

    1. This is not correct. An employee can file a claim with the EEOC or ICRC without awaiting the outcome of an internal investigation by their employer.

  3. Robert,

    You only have 180 days to file a complaint with the EEOC unless it is regarding an anti-discrimination claim that will extend it to 300 days. In real life, unfortunately, most victims think the investigative process will rectify the issue.

  4. “‘allegations of sexual harassment and abuse by members of the Administration’ as specifically made by Complainants 1 and 2 and an assessment of ‘how the Administration addressed these allegations,’”

    How would this exclude the text messages. We need a shake-up of our city-county council.
