JAKE TAPPER: So the Government Accountability Project calls your firing, quote, unlawful, and you’re taking it to court. Tell us more about that.
CATHY HARRIS: I agree with the Government Accountability Project. I’m supposed to only be able to be fired for cause. That’s malfeasance in office, neglect of duty, or inefficiency, none of which apply to me.
I’ve done a really good job. We’ve eliminated the backlog that accrued at the board. After five years without a quorum, we had 3,800 cases.
I’ve got it down to about 1% left now. We’ve been incredibly efficient, small but mighty. And so we’re a bipartisan board.
Our members have terms that are supposed to extend, spanning administrations. And my term is supposed to go until March 1st, 2028. So I believe that my firing was illegal, and I should be put back to work.
