Testimony in the Pennsylvania Civil Service Commission hearing for the former director of Butler County’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority has concluded.
Tuesday was the fifth day for the hearing which started earlier this year as Perry O’Malley decided to challenge his dismissal from his post. O’Malley finished making his arguments during the Tuesday afternoon session.
According to authority solicitor Andrew Menchyk, once transcripts of all sessions have been made available to lawyers of both sides, the Commission will set a date for briefs to be submitted. After they have received briefs, it is likely to take the commissioners 90 days to review the information and make their ruling.
O’Malley, of Cranberry Township, was fired back in March after the authority’s board members said he abused travel, expenses and leave time and neglected duties. O’Malley has continued to deny the board’s claims. He alleges he was fired because of his age and politics.
O’Malley had been the executive director for 23 years.
