Former Iowa state official known for his frequent workplace praise of the late rapper Tupac Shakur to file a whistleblower claim, alleging he lost his job after objecting to a pay arrangement for the governor's deputy chief of staff.
FILE - In a Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 file photo, Jerry R. Foxhoven, executive director, Drake Legal Clinic, speaks at a meeting of the governor's task force at the Iowa Juvenile Home in Toledo, Iowa. A lawyer for Foxhoven, the ousted Iowa Department of Human Services director says he will file a legal claim alleging Foxhoven was the victim of whistleblower retaliation. Foxhoven was asked to step down by Gov. Kim Reynolds last month.
Foxhoven is expected to announce the action at a news conference Thursday. It’s the latest development stemming from a personnel decision that has put Gov. Kim Reynolds on the defensive and prompted inquiries by state and federal watchdogs. But Duff said Foxhoven will allege he was ousted after objecting to a request to have his department continue funding the salary of Paige Thorson, deputy chief of staff for Reynolds.
Foxhoven told the governor’s office Thorson was “really not doing anything that’s furthering the business of DHS” and he wanted to stop her salary payments, Duff said.
