This Declaration in Support of Motion For Reconsideration from Laura Rumpler.
"Since Dr. Swayne was reinstated, during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday March 15, he instructed the President’s Cabinet not to respond to direct questions from NIC’s defense counsel and to “go through Sarah [Garcia] to go to Kelly Drew” for all legal issues related to NIC.
Dr. Swayne also stated to the Cabinet the following: "I am not going to put this in writing but I want you to listen very carefully. You are not to communicate directly with Greg McKenzie or Art Macomber. I don’t care what they say."
I took this as an instruction that I could not communicate with NIC’s general counsel or the Board on any legal matter. "
