High Point Enterprise reports City Human Relations Director Al Heggins in May filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the City of High Point.
While EEOC complaints can be broad —HPE explains people file complaints “to the federal government alleging discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information”—- exactly whom Heggins is complaining is not clear either, except for maybe one city official—Mayor Pro Tem Jim Davis:
“I don’t think she really named anybody, except the mayor pro tem,” Davis said. “She alluded to management, and a white male, and a black female, and things like that. Since I’m the current mayor pro tem, I assume she’s alluding to me.”
Reasonable assumption. What also isn’t clear is after Heggins claims she was assaulted—no details on the assault as of yet —- why she reported it to Deputy City Manager Randy McCaslin—who allegedly told her to let it go—– instead of directly to the police department.
Still a lot of questions here. Stay tuned.
