Another McCrory appointee fighting his dismissal

Partisanship is just fine, except when it hurts you:

David Prickett, who was communications director for the Office of State Human Resources until Jan. 19, claims he was fired by the Democratic administration of Gov. Roy Cooper because he is a Republican. Prickett’s filings also say the Cooper administration didn’t follow proper procedure when it failed to give him 10 days of notice before taking action against him.

“This type of arbitrary or politically motivated dismissal of employees who have done nothing wrong is exactly what our state personnel laws were passed to prevent,” said Prickett’s attorney, Michael C. Byrne, a Raleigh lawyer who represents state workers.

Right. Where was this outrage when the General Assembly decided to give McCrory four times as many political appointments when he took over the previous Perdue administration? Crickets.
