From GOP advisor Eric Wall comes a link to a story that Hall, a state’s attorney fired for speaking at political rallies, may have been let go for political reasons. It seems that her boss is a Democrat and former “community leader” for a Democrat gubernatorial candidate. Two prominent GOP pols in AG Bill McCollum and Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottcamp have condemned the firing.
Hall’s boss, Skip Jarvis, appears to have judged Hall’s private political activities via the prism of partisan Democrat politics.
Doesn’t it seem that if Jarvis’s firing were justified any AG seeking an elected public office could not do so? With Jarvis’ interpretation they wouldn’t be able to make speeches. Or what if Hall were simply speaking to members of her church on abortion? That wouldn’t be ok either?
Jarvis won’t be able to resolve this when he’s actually forced to. He’s obviously a smart guy, so why did he feel justified in firing Hall?
Perhaps Jarvis is like other Democrats whom buy into Joe Klein’s sediton angle. If so, Democrats need to hope that “Klein Bombs” don’t become viral.

Hall has dropped her lawsuit and it has now been fully dismissed with prejudice.
She was never fired. She was simply given a directive to cease using her position to gain access to the podiums. She got mad and quit, then claimed to have been fired. Witnesses present were going to testify that her claim is false.
She cost the taxpayers a lot of money due to her false claim and lawsuit. Where is your objection to that?????
