John Hueston, an attorney with the firm, has been looking into alleged wrongdoings at the assessor's office for over a year now.  His report, including allegations of timecard fraud and a conspiracy by Postmus to use his position for political gain, was issued last May and prompted the current suit against Postmus and several of his former employees.
