CUMMING - Forsyth County's former planning director, Jeff Chance, will not be getting his job back.
The three-member Forsyth County Civil Service Board released the decision Tuesday, choosing to uphold the county commission's August decision to terminate Chance, despite the board's suspicions of political motivation behind a subpar investigation and subsequent termination.
"The board finds that the investigation and eventual discipline against you was motivated in large part by improper political motives and accompanied by a poor quality investigation," the report shows. "That wrong, however, cannot diminish the wrong of your behavior."
