...In an interview, Council President Gabe Albornoz (D) said he and his colleagues are “very concerned” about Anderson’s practice of drinking at work and have launched their own review.
“The Council oversees Casey, because he is a political appointee,” said Albornoz. “So whatever action is taken will be the council’s responsibility.” He said the panel cannot disclose details because they consider the issue to be a personnel matter.
Albornoz declined to speculate on potential sanctions, but he said the council would be guided in part by how the commission has handled instances in which other employees have engaged in similar conduct.
“There are factors that are going to be considered. Scope and any sort of precedent. We’re looking at commission rules [as well as] how as the commission handled other incidences in which alcohol has been involved with merit-level employees to see if there is some guidance,” he said. “All of those are factors that we’re going to weigh.”..
This just points to Mr Anderson's technique of having an "in crowd" supporting him. It is clear that other Commissioners, senior staff and most probably Councilmembers all knew and did not take any action. Anderson needs to be gone. It is long past time. And all the complicit others need to review their actions and elite groups. The Planning Commission needs to be striving to have a level playing field for all.
