Labor must decide to sue Ohio EPA for whistleblower
A federal judge gave the Department of Labor 30 days to decide whether to sue Ohio over the removal of Paul Jayko, an OEPA site coordinator, who alleges retaliation after raising concerns about contamination investigations at River Valley schools near Marion. The suit centers on whether the federal government can pursue Jayko’s claims and reinstate him, with the OEPA contesting the removal and noting his duties remained intact.
