Golf caddie Steve Williams got to do something most people only dream about. He got sweet and very public revenge after being fired by Tiger Woods. Many of us have been fired at some point. I got canned from a bartending job during college due to my own incompetence, and a few years later, I became one of the many individuals let go by a self- aggrandizing economics writer with no idea how to manage or relate to others. That latter firing felt unjustified and stirred thoughts of revenge.
A state appeals court upheld the firing of a St. Charles County employee as well as the disciplinary procedure the county used against the employee. At the same time the court resolved a dispute about potential due process issues before the Merit Commission. William Turner was hired in July 2008 as the regional response planner in the county's Department of Community Health and Environment's Office of Emergency Preparedness and Epidemiology. He was fired nearly a year later after failing to perform well under an emergency situation -- distributing the H1N1 vaccine to area pharmacies.
After being bumped from the ballot in August for November's election, Don Assaid went looking for potential snags in the past election filings of a political rival in Botetourt County.

Matthew McHale, the former executive director of Bergen County's primary bonding agency, is suing County Executive Kathleen Donovan and the Bergen County Improvement Authority for firing him in January. McHale, a Democrat who also is mayor of Dumont, was named executive director of the authority in late December, just weeks after Donovan's predecessor, Democratic County Executive Dennis McNerney, lost a reelection bid.

Smith, would still be on the job in San Diego. Good thing I'm not a betting man.
