CHAMPAIGN – The public health board fired director Vito Palazzolo "for gross malfeasance" Monday, rejecting a settlement offer of six months' pay and voting to turn over evidence to the police.
All three members of the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District board – Linda Abernathy, Pius Weibel and Chairwoman Carol Elliott – voted to reject a settlement, fire the director, effective immediately, and turn over financial records to the Champaign Police Department as soon as today.
