Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown gave Human Resources Commissioner Karla Thomas the boot today, reports YNN. This came swiftly on the heels of the the close of an investigation that showed the city of Buffalo has been paying health insurance for deceased former employees (to the tune of almost 2 million dollars). The audit placed blame with the Department of Human Resources Division of Compensation and Benefits. And that would be Karla. The same Karla that the mayor had previously instructed to buy the social security death index (which makes it easy to identify who’s dead and who should still get benefits) and which Karla still didn’t. The same Karla who helped conduct a serious, nationwide search for a local man to become the new police commissioner.

Confucius says: GTFO!

Termination notice the Mayor gave to Thomas...

A hearing is scheduled September 16th on the matter. Are these things held publicly?!
