New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon says he would discuss today a recent recording in which he allegedly says that a county employee should be dismissed.
But the News Journal reports that the recording goes on with Gordon adding that the employee would not be fired because of the influence of the employee’s wife state Senator Bethany Hall-Long.
The paper reports that the conversation took place between Gordon and his former Chief Administrative Officer David Grimaldi.
The News Journal says that Grimaldi is heard saying that Dana Long, a housing inspector, had confessed to county supervisors that he got a hold of information about Section 8 housing recipients.
The paper reports that it has not been able to confirm that Dana Long actually got the information or that he used it in any illegal way.
