The city released disciplinary records on Pettaway Thursday night in response to a Jan. 17 open records request the State Journal filed after Pettaway told the newspaper she’d been subject to disciplinary action in retaliation for her decision to run for mayor. On Feb. 9, she provided the newspaper with some of the same records — as well as others beyond the scope of the newspaper’s request — but has otherwise not responded to requests for comment.

Davis did not respond to requests for comment on Friday, and Mayor Paul Soglin said that once it was clear he and Pettaway were both running for mayor in this spring’s election, he recused himself from oversight of her work. Deputy mayors Gloria Reyes and Enis Ragland were assigned to oversee the complaints against her, Soglin said; neither responded to requests for comment Friday.

In emails responding to the allegations against her, Pettaway complained of not having the support and resources needed to complete her job, claimed to have been disrespected and marginalized, alleged that she was the victim of microaggressions and suggested the city create a new “Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice” outside the Department of Civil Rights.
