Description
Feb. 3, 2023 on The Story: In early March of 2021, reports started circulating that then-Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty had been involved in a hit-and-run crash. That claim was pretty quickly debunked — while there had been a hit-and-run, the suspect was not Hardesty.

But this week an arbitrator working with the city and the union decided that Hunzeker should get his job back.
