To the editor: Fesia Davenport doesn’t allege that Measure G is unenforceable or that she was wrongfully terminated, only that she experienced harm from losing her position (“L.A. County chief executive got $2-million settlement after Measure G fallout, records say,” Oct. 14). But lots of employees, public and private, lose their jobs through no fault of their own, and most have no recourse.
Had the supervisors turned down Davenport’s claim, I can’t imagine she would have any case in court. It seems the supervisors are more interested in giving their outgoing employees overly generous severance pay than they are in helping their constituents.

To the editor: Surely, I’m not the only one outraged by an apparently redundant government employee being awarded $2 million for “embarrassment.” Not when private citizens emotionally and physically savaged by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security or Customs and Border Protection may end up incarcerated without recourse.
