The other side of the debate has chosen to be silent in the case of Dep. City Atty. David McCarthy returning to work following his latest tour of duty in the Iraq War zone.

Mr. McCarthy is upset over being ordered to undergo an evaluation from a city-provided forensic psychiatrist last January before being allowed to resume his lawyerly duties.

City Atty. Carol Schwab, City Manager Jerry Fulwood and Personnel Director Serena Wright are said to have jointly agreed on the requirement.

Ms. Schwab was firm and succinct in giving a response. “It is complicated, and it is a personnel matter,” she said. “Therefore, I am not at liberty to discuss the subject.”

Sources indicated that some City Hall employees who returned to their jobs after long periods of inactivity, have faced obligations similar to those of Mr. McCarthy.
