The board met to consider the dismissal of Housing Authority employee Art Streppa who was dismissed by MCHA director Sam Parker earler last week. Parker contends he fired Streppa after he disobeyed an order to go to Mars Hill to investigate problems at the 40-unit housing complex the authority operates. Streppa contends that he failed to follow Parker's order because he had appointments at the authority's Marshall office. The housing board met in executive session for more than two hours hear ing testimony from both Streppa and Parker and other Housing Authority employees. Streppa was represented at the hearing by Mars Hill attorney Ed Krause. County attorney Larry Leake also attended the closed hear ing. After hearing both sides of the dispute, board members voted unanimously to uphold Parker's ac tion. Krause declined to comment on the decision against his client. Call once. And for all.
