Lockhart case drains state welfare funds and time
The state welfare department spent thousands defending Welch Area 6 employee Helen Lockhart. Attorney J Franklin Lang estimates at least 50000 was used for the four day Civil Service hearing with about 40 witnesses. Lang claims the commission’s ruling was flawed and plans appeal to the state supreme court, arguing insubordination and inefficiency findings were not proven. Lang notes political pressure may have influenced the decision and villagers the case could take six months to a year to reach court action.
