Mendocino County Auditor Chamise Cubbison has petitioned the court to reinstate her and restore all lost pay and benefits since her suspension in October. Labor law attorney Therese Cannata of San Francisco submitted the petition for a write of mandate, stating that county supervisors committed an unlawful abuse of power and a violation of Cubbison’s right to due process by suspending her. She also states that Cubbison’s reputation has been damaged and the citizens of the county have been deprived of the right to have a duly elected official serve in office.
