Former Human Resources Director Files Suit Against City Of Tacoma
Phil Knudsen, fired last month as Tacoma's
human resources director, has filed a wrongful termination claim
against the city.
He's seeking damages that could exceed five
million dollars. The city claims Knudsen ordered a subordinate to
adjust scoring on a civil service exam to help an employee to keep
her job.
He insists it was politically motivated payback for his
refusal to change his account of a meeting with city attorneys the
day before Police Chief David Brame fatally shot his wife and
killed himself. City Manager Jim Walton says the firing had nothing
to do with the Brame case.
