It comes from the Journal piece by Colleen Heild. link
Investigators in recent weeks have been questioning whether Lovato took liberties in running his department and whether he improperly directed APS resources to benefit one of his supervisors.
Now if you asked the leadership of the APS,
which of the good ol' boys is "... one of his supervisors",
they will not hear the question.
Nor will they hear the question;
What ever became of that supervisor?Was it Tom Savage?
No, it couldn't be.
We paid for a big ol' party to retire him with honors.
Was it Beth Everitt?
No, it couldn't be.
We paid for a big ol' party to retire her with honors.
So who was it? And what ever became of them?
Good, legitimate questions that the good ol' boys simply
will not hear.
Its just not the way they roll.
End the madness.
I have been reading the article more closely, and must confess that apparently, I misread the Journal article. They are talking about a subordinate whose job is called "supervisor."
I guess that would be the woman named in the article, who allegedly received a lot of money and trinkets from Lovato and the APS PD, that were unearned.
She was not fired for accepting any of these goodies.
She remains on the payroll, and I suspect, unwilling to offer testimony about any of the good ol' boys that keep her on the payroll.

She is a Safety Specialist for Risk Management. Almost every person that Gil Lovato screwed over or tried to screw over ended up there. Marilyn Dusenberry, a school police sergeant, was the exception - she had a degree and was transferred to an investigatory position with Barbara Lynn's office.
Josie Britton tried to blow the whistle, and was shuffled off to Risk as a Safety Specialist. Jim Dorn had some differences of opinion with Gil, flipped him off figuratively, and got the Risk director position. He was a school police sergeant too.
I saw what a creep Gil could be only when I tried to get him to do his job in the Moon case; he turned into the orifice that everyone and their brother already said he was. A few guys who had powerful families or who had huge intellects were spared Lovato's malicious worktime abuse - someone had to do Gil's work for him while he messed with people in power-tripping madness. While neglecting his job of protecting people on campus and school resources, 'natch.
Once you became a thorn in Gil's side, you got fired if you had no ammo against him. You had to have something on him to keep employed. Then, even though APS HR would not act on the complaint you had against Lovato, they would at least let you keep earning money in the school system in a similar job. Each name I named was a reason that HR had to can Gil, but did not. These situation started almost as soon as he was hired.
The lady you are talking about was the victim of years of quid pro quo sexual harassment by Lovato. She deserves to finish out her time and retire. I hope I can get her job when she retires, she is doing good since they held her harmless in salary, I believe but am not certain.
I have railed against her actions in the past, have bitched and complained that she got to keep her job after Lovato used his influence to use her as an on duty sex-slave. That is on LOVATO, not her. She is a victim here. Lovato used public money to place her in a supervisory position that allowed him to place her in any position he wanted at La Quinta while they were on duty.
The subordinate in that situation was her, the current Safety Specialist and former dispatch supervisor. Any basic class on sexual harasment will say that "this for that" (sex for a supervisory position) is the problem and crime of the person in authority. That would be Gilbert Lovato: former school police chief, lousy fraud investigator, cowardly coercer of sex from underlings, and arbitrary abuser of power to capriciously fire people he doesn't like.
