Stephen Largen’s article on yesterday’s grievance hearing re: former Parks Dept Director Jeff Caton is published in SHJ today. It’s quite lengthy and I suggest going to the link and reading the entire article.
It begins:
Spartanburg County’s former parks director claimed at a Tuesday grievance hearing that his firing was the result of a quest for revenge by County Councilman David Britt.
Jeff Caton, who is seeking reinstatement, said an incident involving Britt took place the day of the Cleveland Park train wreck in March and ignited the tension. The derailment of the miniature train killed a 6-year-old Gaffney boy and injured 28 others.
