Documented disputes and controversies
In May 2024, the Juvenile Court Clerk's Office building was closed indefinitely over mold/asbestos/lead concerns. Gordon said staff complaints prompted environmental testing. She told Action News 5: "When you have staff members that come to you and sometimes you think it's a joke, but it really wasn't. They say I don't feel well today, my asthma is kind of messing with me, so initiated the test." (Action News 5, May 2024)
