Town Votes To Give Fired Lesbian Police Chief Her Job Back, Strips Mayor Of Power (UPDATE)
Residents of Latta, South Carolina don’t believe Crystal Moore should have been fired because of her sexual preference. The mayor, who thinks drunks are better than gays, is now out of favor with most of his constituency.
Click here for reuse options!The town overwhelmingly voted to reinstate Moore to her job and to strip the mayor, Earl Bullard, of some of his powers. As first reported by The Morning News in South Carolina, Latta residents passed a referendum changing the governing structure of the town from “mayor-strong” to “council-strong,” which gives the town council the ability to rehire Moore.
The ballots still must be certified on Friday, but the council plans to make its first order of business rehiring Moore.
“I’m ecstatic,” Moore told the newspaper. “Words can’t describe.”…
Bullard, who has been mayor since December, sparked outrage in April when he fired Moore after giving her seven reprimands, alleging that she failed to maintain order and questioned authority. Moore maintained that she had done nothing wrong, and that the reprimands were the first she had received in 20 years with the department.
Bullard’s move also came as a council member released a recorded phone call in which Bullard went on a homophobic tirade about preferring to leave his children with a raging alcoholic over someone whose “lifestyle is questionable.”

I was once married to an alcoholic, and wouldn’t trust him with any child. Why would Bullard not think that being an alcoholic isn’t a questionable lifestyle?

I am willing to assume that thinking is not Bullard’s strong suit

It’s also a choice.

Wonder why a re-call wasn’t held.

Maybe it wasn’t an option in the local law.
