IN RE: TONY CORNELIUS,
Protestor.

11 Elec. App. 46 (KC)
ORDER
|
This matter is an appeal from the Election Supervisor's decision 2011 ESD 260 issued May 17, 2011. The appeal was submitted by Scott D. Soldon, Esq. on behalf of Tony Cornelius.
A hearing was held before me on May 27, 2011. The following persons were heard by way of teleconference: Jeffrey J. Ellison, Esq., for the Election Supervisor, David J. Hoffa, Esq. on behalf of the Hoffa campaign, Bradley T. Raymond, Esq., General Counsel, International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and Scott D. Soldon, Esq. and the protester.
Appellant, by his counsel, Scott Soldon, asserted in his appeal statement that the Election Supervisor's two factual findings, 1) that no retaliation occurred and 2) that Mr. Cornelius did not protest his salary reduction, were incorrect. He did not indicate his basis for these statements. Mr. Soldon also assailed the procedural finding by the Election Supervisor that the protest had been resolved. Statement May 19, 2011.
In the Appeal Hearing, Mr. Soldon was asked to respond to the factual assertions set forth in the four page letter submitted on May 26, 2011 by Bradley T. Raymond on behalf of the IBT and in support of the Election Supervisor's decision in this matter. Mr. Soldon advised that he had only "skimmed it." When given the time during the hearing to carefully read it, Mr. Soldon did not confound anything in Mr. Raymond's argument, or indeed that of the Election Supervisor's Appeals Chief, Jeffrey J. Ellison.
Accordingly, the decision of the Election Supervisor is affirmed.
SO ORDERED:
