Show Notes
Dr. Bob Lutz challenges his dismissal from Spokane Regional Health District, alleging improper procedures in his firing during the pandemic. A federal appeals court panel heard arguments, potentially reviving the case for a jury trial. The dispute centers on who had the authority to fire Lutz, with Lutz claiming immediate termination by former administrator Amelia Clark, while the district insists he was only asked to resign and placed on leave. The case hinges on evidence like emails and statements describing Lutz as terminated. No ruling has been made, but a reversal could send the case back to lower court. Lutz also has a related state court case ongoing.
