Did not deserve to be fired that way. However we all know those positions in the Solicitors Office are political appointments. So when you take those positions you know there is an expiration date. Despite efforts made by the previous administration, there will always be changes. I thought Scomillio would have been smart enough to keep her on Staff and let her skills get her fired or go to Council and get the position changed. But Team Brown continues to believe they make up the rules and are never challenged! So kudos to Jill for challenging Scomillio and Brown. Now you got a years salary and can campaign like hell against Scomillio.
