Florine: Was Brannon Fired Or What?

FlorineD: Can somebody clear up something for me? Was Mr. Brannon “fired” or was he “laid off?” From all that I've seen coming from the H4H board, the position was totally eliminated for financial reasons with the board taking on the managerial tasks which were previously the Executive Director's (the title may be wrong) responsibility. The distinction may be of little or no consequence, I guess, to his campaign. But if one is “laid off,” does that not carry with it the assumption of a possibility of being brought back once the financial situation changes?

Question: Dang good question. I've been trying to figure it out myself (hence, the regular references here to layoff/firing/whatever. Can anyone say definitively whether Brannon was fired or laid off?
