"His lawyers state in the suit, "Dr. Aenlle was not grounded in legitimate employment considerations or budgetary concerns but rather were motivated by hostility to his political viewpoints; namely, supporting Sheriff Corpus and her agenda of change, which stood to disrupt the corrupt and nepotic behavior of the San Mateo County Government, to the detriment of those who benefited from it.""
"He says that since he was born in Cuba he is part of a protected class of individuals. Aenlle portrays himself as a champion of reform. "Dr. Aenlle is a longtime San Mateo County resident who built his reputation through a willingness to speak out and support candidates that would make tough decisions for the community he lives within and serves," the complaint saidf. "Dr. Aenlle consistently challenged county practices that placed power and politics above taxpayers.""
Victor Aenlle, former sheriff's chief of staff, filed a 114-page federal lawsuit claiming retaliation after the county rejected his earlier claim. The suit alleges actions were motivated by hostility toward his political viewpoints and support for Sheriff Christina Corpus and her reform agenda. Aenlle contends an investigation into farmworker living conditions on his ranch was retaliatory. He asserts protected-class status based on being born in Cuba. Two independent reports portray him as underqualified and using intimidation, and quote employees who believed he and Corpus were having an affair.
