Contrary to what several ethics watchdog agencies say, the attachment of a banner and link to Governor Pat Quinn’s pension reform website found in two state agencies employees' outgoing emails are outrageous and unethical, according to the head of the State Employee’s Union.
AFSCME spokesperson Anders Lindall says that state employees being “conscripted by Governor Quinn to promote something that is against their interest is unethical.” Lindall also says AFSME lawyers are investigating possible legal and ethical violations.
WMAY is receiving reports that the director of one agency has ordered the banner to be removed.
