A screening process is now in place for any complaints or allegations against employees

of La Porte County government and elected officials.

 

It was adopted a few weeks ago. But, a reminder was given yesterday by La Porte County Commissioner Sheila Matias.

 

Her reminder came after a La Porte woman at a public meeting questioned why a driver for

the highway department was still driving because of a previous driving-related legal matter.

 

Matias said such complaints will be investigated before allowed to go public to make sure they’re

accurate. 

 

County attorney Shaw Friedman said it’s only fair to avoid someone being falsely accused

In a public setting.

 

The issue was raised at Wednesday’s La Porte County Commissioners meeting.
