Once-Fired CCSD Police Lieutenant To Be Reinstated

A Clark County School District police lieutenant fired after revealing his position as an FBI informer will be re-hired and given more than two years of back pay. 

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that an arbitrator has ordered reinstatement for Dan Burgess, with wages and benefits dating back to the day he was fired -- March 27, 2015.

Burgess’ attorney says pay for that time frame exceeds $197,000.  A previous ruling determined Burgess was wrongfully fired.  He was one of multiple officers working with the FBI in a corruption investigation.

How is Las Vegas' healthcare system really doing, and what does it mean for you and your family? Desert Companion's Health Issue takes a deep dive into these questions and explores how heart-centered business leaders prove that doing good benefits the bottom line.
