Jeff Chance was fired in August over some personal e-mail activity on his county account. Those e-mails between Chance and his girlfriend were said to be sexually explicit.
His attorney claimed during an eight-day hearing that the firing actually was politically motivated because Chance had clashed with a planning commissioner over a zoning issue. He has asked that his client be reinstated to his $92,000-per-year job with no punishment.
The three-member CSB panel apparently made a decision on Chance's fate in a December 7 meeting, but according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the decision is in the process of being written, so they won't release details just yet.
