Former liquor official loses appeal on firing
Sam Chandler of Grinnell lost his appeal to the Iowa Merit Employment Commission over a March 24 firing from the Beer and Liquor Control Department. The panel held he falsified time cards and violated rules by entering a suspended Grinnell liquor store to retrieve documents, stressing trust between managers and supervisors. Chandler may pursue district court review while a Job Service hearing granted retroactive unemployment benefits.
