Two Charleston County Aviation Authority employees were fired Monday, one week after they filed a whistleblower’s lawsuit alleging they were demoted after pointing out spending irregularities and the agency’s top leaders’ failure to follow purchasing policies.
The complaint, filed by former accounting assistants Karina Labossiere and Darla Seidel, alleges all departments at the airport followed procedures except administration, which is headed by CEO Paul Campbell.
