"I have not offered my resignation. As far as the (investigative) report is concerned, I have not assaulted anyone. I have not harassed anyone, and the police report clearly states I have not done such things," she added.
"It was suggested to me by the mayor himself that I was to consider resigning or, alternatively, he would have to let me go. But there was nothing beyond that. I was recipient of his information and that is all," Srinivas said.

It's been a while, but as I recall I didn't agree alot with "thetruth". However, in this instance he/she is right on. The personnel director particularly irks me and I have written about this before. Upon winning the election, Mayor Picard terminated the personnel Director. A female latino lawyer who was basically unpolitical and has 10 years professional experience. He then replaced her with Rob Sandella as acting personnel director. Rob ran as the Tax Collector and lost. The city hcarter requires 5 years personnel experience. This rule is in there for a reason, to limit patronage hiring and to have smoeone who undestands unions, health benefits, policies, etc. But instead Rob who has no personnel exerience and no related formal education, was put in this position. Since then we have seen the Assessor terminated the Assistant Assessor terminated without her union present (lawsuit!) Operating with no Assessor is against the city charter. We have no Assistant Finance Director and no attempts to recruit for a professional one.
As a result of unexperienced Personnel Director, we have also seen costly grienvances filed and an embarrassing handling of this situation wtih the Finance Director from day one. This will undoubtedly cause two more lawsuits: one form the girl who was touched by the finance director and one from the finance director. Calling the personnel director 'acting' for over one year has been a basic manipulation of the charter and our government process. Rob, a democratic town committee associate is not the only unqualified person that has been placed in a key administrative position. People often have difficulty understanging how party politics effects government. This is a perfect example.
THis Finance Director is now out on medical leave and the Mayor is bringing on a new Finance Director. We will now be paying for both not to mention the consultant the mayor brought on.
