    The Nevada Independent reported embattled North Las Vegas City Manager Qiong Liu is accusing several top city officials, including Mayor John Lee, of working to oust her after she refused requests to step down and fired one of the mayor’s top political allies.

    In a letter submitted to the council ahead of a scheduled May 7 hearing appealing the council’s earlier decision to terminate her employment, Liu staunchly defended herself against accusations she tried giving herself a retroactive $25,000 pay raise without council approval, saying it was being used as retribution after she fired Assistant City Manager Ryann Juden in January.

    “Staff’s pursuit of termination for cause appears to me to be a personal vendetta to punish me for firing Mr. Juden who now holds my job as City Manager, and to deprive me of the severance I am entitled to under my employment contract as well as what was agreed to by the City just a month ago,” she wrote.
