In re Appeal of Lieutenant Glenn Butner

Lt. Glenn Butner appeals his discharge from the Pasco police department, contending: (1) we should review his case de novo; (2) the Civil Service Commission (Commission) erroneously considered certain polygraph examination results; (3) the Commission was biased; (4) the Commission incorrectly based his discharge on a violation of an order not to speak to the press; and (5) the Commission abused its discretion in upholding the discharge instead of ordering less drastic sanctions. We affirm.
