Judge Rules In Favor of Reinstated County Employee

Judge Thomas Anderle ruled that the County’s Civil Service Commission erred in not citing the evidence that re-instated a fired county worker Liann Noble nearly 18 months ago over the objections of county executives. Noble enjoyed an exemplary record as a child protective services worker, but was terminated after entering Lompoc’s homeless shelter under false pretenses with her son to spend the night and investigate the conditions for an op-ed she was writing.
