The employee, David Dushane, told an ethics investigator that he volunteered to do the work after overhearing Baldwin telling others in the office about having to wait two weeks for repairs. Worden, a financial consultant from Eagle Point, attended the hearing Friday in Salem. Worden was also upset that the commission failed to let him address the Baldwin complaint during the meeting. Previously, ethics staff have refused to investigate new complaints Worden filed against Dushane and another airport employee who was paid for vacation time she had not earned. Even so, he argued that the commission would not have allowed Worden to make a detailed presentation.
Complainants don t really have a standing.
Once the case is filed it belongs to the commission, and the commission has the discretion to dispose of it. Ethics staff earlier dismissed a complaint against Dawn Neff, a former airport secretary whose allegations of mismanagement triggered the county audit.
