Hudlow Doesn’t Show At Name Clearing Meeting

— Jerry Hudlow, Rogers’ former chief financial officer, did not attend a special City Council meeting this morning called to give him a chance to clear his name.

Hudlow’s attorney Stephen Wood also did not attend.

Hudlow was terminated by Mayor Greg Hines on May 14 for insubordination and poor management techniques relating to subordinate employees.

Hudlow filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the city and Hines in August.

One of the claims Hudlow asserted in the lawsuit was he never got the opportunity to clear his name.

“The purpose of this meeting is to give Mr. Hudlow the opportunity to clear his name,” said John Everett, an attorney representing the city and Hines.

A letter was sent to Wood and Hudlow regarding the special meeting. Everett said he was contacted by Wood and told neither Wood nor Hudlow planned to attend the session.
