HOOAH! Judge Rules in Favor of "Fired" Nolensville Police Officer! Welcome Back Officer Holt!
it seems the Mayor and Aldermen
acted in a arbitrary and capricious
manner when they fired Mr. Holt.
Arbitrary means unreasonable,
unsupported and uncontrolled
by law or statute.
Capricious means fickle, erratic,
based on whim and variables.
Holt's attorney said the town did
not follow its own personnel and
grievance policies in firing his
client.
Nolensville Mayor Lothers came up
missing again not being present
when the Judge said---"Town did
not notify Mr. Holt of the reason
for his firing before he was required
to defend himself at the hearing?
Judge said, "I'm not convinced that
Officer Holt knows to this day the
reason why he was fired?"
Mayor & Board lost "big-time" so
now they must give Mr. Holt his
job back with back pay, benefits
and damages for illegal firing!
You are not going to believe what
the Mayor said about this in today's
paper?
"There may be a potential appeal"
by the board after they have looked
at some of the wording in their pol-
icies. She goes on..."it sounds like
the judge had a question of our pro-
cedures manual that we knew there
was some erroneous language that
needed to be cleared up"
You got that right Mayor...the Judge
alluded to arbitrary and capricious
procedures unsupported and based
on whim and fancy. Mayor said "we
are already on top of some of the
language"? Sorry Mayor too little
and far too late after the fact that you
based your firing of this officier on
absolutely no correct procedures.
Question Mayor? Where is your $100.
per hour town attorney that sits in the
board meeting and probably said it
was OK to fire Mr. Holt? Also Police
Chief Rigsby what did he base his
decision on to fire Mr. Holt?
Somebody ought to call Mr. Woodruff
and the two maintenance workers who
were all fired? If they act fast enough
they may be able to get their jobs back
before town officials can find out what
is wrong with their procedures?
Don't forget the Mayor said "we are al-
ready on top of some of the language?
Anybody know what this means? Well
some have said..."if they knew long ago
that the procedures were wrong...then
how can they decide to fire Mr. Holt?"
Problem is the Mayor and most of the
board including the town attorney DO
NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THEIR
OWN PROCEDURES?
Hello town employees! Don't say you
weren't warned! Mayor and Board do
not follow their own policies,
procedures and DUE PROCESS!
Townspeople will remember Alderman
Felts who was censured without due
process. And they tried to do the same
against Alderman Curtsinger but the
town lost and Curtsinger was found to
be totally cleared of all charges by the
Mayor and Board.
QUESTION? IF NOLENSVILLE ELECT-
ION WERE HELD TODAY HOW MANY OF
THE TOWN OFFICIALS WOULD BE VOTED
BACK INTO OFFICE? NOT ONE YOU SAY?
HOW ABOUT ONE OR MAYBE TWO?
TIP! SPRING HILL GOES OVER BUDGET
BY 3 MILLION. NOW AFTER THE STATE
STEPS IN TO MONITOR THEIR BUDGET
PROCEDURES---THEY DECIDE TO HIRE
A FULL TIME 24/7 TOWN MANAGER!
NOLENSVILLE MAYOR AND BOARD
NEED TO HIRE A TOWN MANAGER ASAP!
