I don't get it. The Gov said "he's innocent until proven guilty, so I can't fire him for DWI. I can only fire him because he refused the breathalizer test". Gov, are you saying the cops were wrong in arresting him -- because until he's convicted, he hasn't done anything wrong? Sorry, Gov, not in my book. I wouldn't wait around till he got off on a technicality, keeping him on the payroll for a few years. Be decisive, and get rid of him for the DWI. It's time to start reducing the payroll.

Humm interesting. because of the whole innocent until proven guilty piece, I would have figured he would have been strongly encouraged to resign. You know the type of encouragement that you can't refuse. However I suppose by not taking the Breathalyzer he left the open opportunity for being fired and for the gov. to send a message that someone like that is not above the law.
