The state Attorney General’s Office and Department of Administration are investigating whether employees faced retaliation at the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, the pension trust for police officers, firefighters and elected officials.
State officials declined to identify those who complained, but PSPRS has been battling allegations that top management hounded a handful of workers last year as they raised questions about trust real-estate investments.
Jeff Grant, DOA deputy director, told The Arizona Republic that “charges of discrimination and retaliation have been filed against PSPRS,” triggering the joint inquiry. The Attorney General’s Office declined comment. Grant declined to say who is under investigation.
