OK County jail tax divides voters over trust and planning | Letters

Oklahoma County jail proposal lacks plan, transparency. I have been reading up on and listening to the pros and cons of (the Oklahoma County jail sales tax) proposal. The more thought that goes into the proposal the more I am inclined to vote no. My reasoning is (1) There is no concrete plans about where and what type of structure that is to be built. (2) The first proposal that passed, the public was on board to do this project. The result of the leadership not having a prepared in depth plan, caused a lot of confusion and chaos. (3) We are now being asked to trust that everything will work out just fine.

Paycom fired worker with onion allergy legally, company says in filing

Paycom has denied violating federal disability law in response to a lawsuit alleging the company didn’t provide reasonable accommodations to an employee who has a severe onion allergy before illegally firing her. In a recent filing, the payroll software company contested claims brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which say Paycom engaged in unlawful disability discrimination and failed to make a good faith effort to accommodate Katie Jorgenson, a former benefits specialist who briefly worked at the multi-tenant office building located at 7725 W. Reno Ave., about 14 miles south of the main campus on W. Memorial Rd. Paycom argues its actions were “because of legitimate, non-discriminatory and nonretaliatory reasons,” according to an October filing. “Paycom denies that it is liable to Plaintiff and/or Jorgenson for any sum of money or in any manner whatsoever, and prays that this court dismiss plaintiff’s complaint in its entirety with prejudice and award Paycom its costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in defending this action,” the filing reads. More: Paycom fired worker because of her onion allergy, EEOC claims Paycom disputes liability, admits leadership ‘couldn’t guarantee a safe working environment’ The EEOC filed its lawsuit in late June, alleging Paycom violated
