Mayor Sandy Stimpson fired Kevin Levy hours after the special counsel's damaging assessment of him was publicly released. The report found Levy broke the law mishandling a contract signature sheet. A claim he denies. Prosecutors and Stimpson have also stated Levy did not violate the law, but Levy says the damage is done and the months-long saga has ruined his reputation.
"The reason they were asked to peer review the report was for tone, tenor and grammar. I wanted to make sure that if somebody was going to take this EchoStop report and use it in a way they ultimately did, that it wasn't intended, that it didn't come out angry or it didn't come out not making sense. They didn't write the report. I wrote the report," said Levy.
"We need this now. We need this now. We need this now. And I'm like well, it's supposed to be June, July or August and produce the report now. I started sensing that since I didn't do the PowerPoint, somehow they were going to try to manipulate what this EchoStop report really said, which is exactly what they did. They were going to manipulate its intent and its purpose and to somehow point fingers at the chief, which is exactly what they did," said Levy.
"That antagonistic manner by which that document was given is what really catalyst all of these things and you look at some of the stuff that the chief said, but the chief was put in a position based on the way that document was given to him," said Levy.
