Bid to sack Casey CEO Tyler fails

There were chaotic scenes at last Tuesday’s Casey council meeting as a motion to sack chief executive officer Mike Tyler was defeated.

Cr Kevin Bradford moved a notice of motion to immediately terminate Mr Tyler’s contract over a civil lawsuit brought against him by a former council staffer in 2010.

Cr Bradford said councillors had been told very little about the lawsuit when it was going on and it had been handled in “a cloak of secrecy”.
