Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron filed a lawsuit Tuesday that should determine whether the town’s council can keep her from demoting the fire department’s chief.
The seven-member, all-Republican Zionsville Town Council met and unanimously voted Monday to deny Styron’s request that Zionsville Fire Department Chief James VanGorder be demoted after she said multiple department members raised concerns about his leadership. She declined to answer questions about those concerns.
Styron, a Democrat, said the lawsuit is expected to support her authority to demote department heads and further delineate the roles of the mayor and the council.
