On February 26th council members met "to review a formal grievance filed by Forney Police Department Chief Mica Lunt against Carson — alleging the city manager had put social media optics over a public safety decision during the recent winter storm disaster. In it, Lunt states, Carson's behavior during that time are part of a pattern of improper and hostile working conditions which Carson allegedly fosters.

Allegations of Carson's behavior were echoed in letters sent to council this past week, including from the Forney Police Officers Association, Forney Professional Firefighters Association, and the Pekin, Illinois, Professional Firefighters Association — where Carson was last employed as a city manager." 

A motion calling for the immediate resignation of Forney City Manager Tony Carson was made but failed in a 4-3 vote. (https://www.inforney.com/politics/motion-calling-for-forney-city-manager-tony-carsons-immediate-resignation-fails-in-4-3-vote/article_754149e2-78a8-11eb-9de6-3737bce620bd.html) 

"FORNEY, Texas — UPDATE [Mar. 26] — Forney Police Department Chief Mica Lunt, after being placed on administrative leave yesterday, has been terminated, inForney.com confirmed.......

The termination comes just over a month after Lunt filed a grievance against City Manager Anthony "Tony" Carson alleging a pattern of improper and hostile working conditions — allegations a number of current and former employees, including from previous cities where Carson worked, have come forward and corroborated. Carson, in our previous coverage of the grievance, said he could not comment due to it being a personnel matter.

"I'm disappointed and saddened by such a retaliatory choice made by City Manager Tony Carson to further hurt and destroy our city in actions to terminate Chief Lunt," Forney Mayor Mary Penn told inForney.com."

The Forney City Manager, along with the assistance of four Forney Council Members, continues to abuse power, terrorize law enforcement, bully emergency services, neglect the wants and needs of Forney citizens, undercut local government officials and further corruption within the City of Forney. The people want to the State of Texas to open an investigation on the actions listed above. Additionally, the people want the City Manager and those who have assisted in his corruption to be removed from power. Finally, the people want to have the Forney Police Chief Mica Lunt reinstated. We stand by Chief Mica Lunt.
