A special task force is recommending several changes to protect the rights of City of Atlanta employees who are suspected of wrongdoing by the city’s inspector general.

The task force was assembled by the Atlanta City Council last month in the wake of allegations by some city employees that Inspector General Shannon Manigault had been going too far with her investigations, including by showing up to private homes for interviews and confiscating city-owned and personal property.

Manigault has said those allegations are not true.
