to the editor: Fesia Davenport does not allege that Measure G is unenforceable or that she was unfairly fired, only that she suffered harm by losing her job (“Los Angeles County CEO scored $2 million settlement after Measure G fallout, records show,” October 14). But many employees, public and private, lose their jobs through no fault of their own, and most have no recourse.
If the supervisors had rejected Davenport's claim, I can't imagine she would have had any court case. It appears that supervisors are more interested in giving their outgoing employees overly generous severance packages than in helping their constituents.

to the editor: I'm surely not the only one outraged that an apparently fired government employee was awarded $2 million for “embarrassment.” Not when private citizens are emotionally and physically attacked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security or Customs and Border Protection can end up incarcerated without recourse.
