A federal judge found Friday that the city of Corvallis had violated a city councilor’s right to free expression when it attempted to remove her from the council for pushing the city manager to hire a climate program specialist.
U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken issued an order prohibiting the city from taking any further action to remove councilor Charlyn Ellis from her municipal seat after concluding that two provisions of the city’s charter, upon which the city had attempted to remove her, were unconstitutional.
