He said the employee "is not working currently." Asked if he'd been
terminated because of the letter, Marando said, "I didn't say he was
terminated." He wouldn't say whether the worker's been suspended, but
he said the worker hadn't resigned.

"The employee has been removed from the field office," said Marando.
The employee had worked in the Fell Street office in San Francisco.

So, they have accepted that the letter was written by one of their employees.

Good old Thomas is probably on paid administrative leave, pending investigation.  Yeah, fancy words for they are paying a bigot while they let it die down.

They need to fire him, period.  He illegally used state records for personal use.  What if he had used it to stacker a woman.  Same kind of thing.  He needs to be fired and jail for the illegal use of the records.   He has also used the USPS to harass and intimate someone.  That should be against some law.

They have to formally investigate the matter, otherwise they would open themselves up to legal action from any dismissed employee for being fired without going through their own disciplinary procedures. At least give them a chance to do the right thing.
