Monroe County commissioners say personnel probe referred to Pennsylvania attorney general
Summary
At a public meeting commissioners announced a personnel investigation into an elected official’s alleged work‑from‑home policy and said they have referred the matter to the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General for independent review.
The Monroe County Commissioners announced a personnel investigation into an elected official related to an allegedly implemented work‑from‑home policy and said the matter has been referred to the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General for an independent review.
At the April 22 meeting the commissioners read a statement into the record noting the investigation’s sensitive nature and saying they could not disclose specific details at this time. “We can confirm that this matter has been referred to the PA office of the attorney general for a thorough independent and impartial review,” the chair said during the meeting.
The statement said the commissioners are committed to ensuring that actions taken are in the county’s best interest and that the county will abide by any decision made by the attorney general’s office. The commissioners also said further updates will be provided “as they become available and the situation permits.”
The transcript does not identify the elected official under investigation, nor does it provide allegations or a timeline for the investigation beyond the referral. No formal vote on the referral is recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt; the announcement was made under the meeting’s miscellaneous business.
