Ivey said that a review of Gamin’s personnel file revealed an incident form 15 years ago that included some racial undertones to one of his subordinates. There was no formal discipline for this incident.

Ivey let Gamin know that at the conclusion of his investigation, his intent was to terminate Gamin’s employment. As a result of his intent, Gamin decided to resign.
