This former government worker hoped to get her job back. She won’t.
Judge Butch Binford ruled city supervisors and personnel board acted within guidelines when it upheld Stephanie Wingfield’s termination.
City officials claim she mismanaged the federally funded initiative and committed numerous infractions that included falsifying documents required for reimbursement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. After he learned of those improprieties Wingfield was fired and a criminal investigation commenced, Cowper said.
She claims her bosses also retaliated because she uncovered their misuse of federal funds that had been awarded to the city during the pandemic. Blaming the matter on a clerical issue, she repaid the money and prosecutors dropped charges soon afterwards.
