Marcus Firing Of Bell Upheld By State Board
Milwaukee records show Homer G. Bell's dismissal as head of the Motor Vehicle department enforcement division was upheld by the State Personnel Board on Friday. Bell plans to appeal to the circuit court, arguing lack of written charges and violation of civil service protections. He cited 29 years of state service and questioned protections for employees. The board found Bell unsatisfactory due to misprioritizing staff and leniency toward violators, while suggesting Bell favored creating a state police force against the commissioner's wishes.
