No civil servant of long-standing resigns like this, unless it it's in the face of much more serious charges. The biggest arrow in the quiver of the employer, would be the ability to deny all retirement benefits (which I'm guessing would be the case).

This is good, she and they should be punished for this. I would hope there are laws under which they could be prosecuted.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I also don't like the way she tried to play the victim in her resignation letter, talking about how she's worried about the safety of herself and her family.
It would be unwise to underestimate what large groups of ill-informed people acting together can achieve. -- John D'Oh, January 14, 2010.

Finally
Her statement:http://blog.dispatch.com/dailybriefing/2008/12/joneskelley_quits_over_joe_the.shtml

In a four-paragraph statement, she said, "it is with sadness and clarity that I have decided to resign...This decision comes after having a time of pause, in which I realize that I continue to be used as a political postscript, providing a distraction from urgent state priorities.

"My professional career, and the legacy of service I have established, has been, and continues to be, far too important for me to allow my reputation and my commitment as a servant leader to be disparaged. I also remain concerned for the safety of my family and myself."

=-=-=-=

SHE's concerned about being a political postscript? HER work was distracted?

Puhleeeze.
