The State Finance Council adopted regulations proposed by Sen. Paul Wunsch to require council approval for transfers of employees outside their county if the employee objects in writing. Gov. Docking noted the rule could be cumbersome but may boost morale and will bar transfers aimed at forcing resignations. He cited parole agent transfers under former penal board chairman Dan Cain, where one employee resigned and another was dismissed for refusing to move. Swanson appealed to the civil service board claiming no work complaints.
