Poll: Who is to blame for the Caltrans, Duane Wiles controversy? (needs FReeping)

The employee fired twice by Caltrans (and reinstated the first time) didn't appeal a third disciplinary action taken against him for numerous serious workplace infractions, including "inexcusable neglect of duty." The cause of Duane Wiles' uncontested discipline in July 2000 will probably never be known.

. . .

Wiles has appealed his November firing. As the story continues to unfold, we wanted to ask State Worker blog users:

"Wiles, the Caltrans technician who falsified test data on the structural integrity of freeway structures, was fired in 1998, reinstated in 2000 and then fired again last month after The Bee made inquiries into his work on the Bay Bridge and other structures."
Read the story, freep the poll!
