San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Adam Hill’s administrative assistant accused the supervisor of sexual misconduct shortly before he committed suicide on Aug. 6, according to multiple sources aware of the allegations.

Nicole Nix took over as Hill’s administrative assistant several years ago, after a previous assistant accused Hill of harassment, according to county sources. Hill and Nix regularly left work together, often driving in the same car.

Last year, a neighbor provided photos of Hill’s car parked throughout the night at Nix’s home. Hill did not respond to questions about allegations he was dating Nix, and why he often stayed overnight at her home.

County administrators are investigating the allegations, which could lead to a financial settlement for Nix. Aside from a press release, the county is not planning on releasing any further information about the allegations at this time.

“The county treats allegations of workplace misconduct very seriously,” according to the county press release. “We can confirm that allegations of workplace misconduct were made against Supervisor Adam Hill prior to his passing, and the county immediately initiated a formal investigation.”

Nix apparently entered into a voluntary sexual relationship with Adam Hill, the latest in a series of amazing conquests for the late supervisor. Say what you will about Hill, but he was quite the pu**y chaser and he scored some impressive local women.


So if Nix entered that relationship by choice, on what grounds is she allowed to file a complaint? Should she not be held accountable for her personal decisions. I have no sympathy for her.


Accountability for personal decisions? Now that’s some radical political theory.


Would the FBI really be involved in a sexual misconduct case of this size?


His estate needs to pay for it not us taxpayers


Straight from the Bruce Gibson playbook!


“The county treats allegations of workplace misconduct very seriously.” OMG! What great stand-up material! Love that this comes from a press release, and not a person. No one can stand the embarrassment. Well, Rita Neal maybe.


Anyway, what a f*cking joke. Gee Bruce, you keep leading so well by example—much thanks for the cancer you have brought to this county.


Any payment needs to come from county counsels salary, and yet she is getting a raise?


So some clean County! You know it’s coming to come all out and you’re going to be hurting for trying to hide the ball. Give us the truth!


Just thought of it another thing You know the old saying birds of a feather flock together? If the reporting is true that Adam was banging his assistant then what does that remind you of Bruce Gibson and his assistant? Seems to be a pattern here? Perhaps the county should require same-sex assitants? Or to be really politically correct requiring an assistant that you do not identify with in a sexual nature. Save us all a lot of time and taxpayer money. Focusing on more time of the needs of the citizens rather than their personal relationships at work and there about. Just an idea


So if Stacy Korsgaden had won, and I wish she had, her assistant would have to be “same-sex” and a female to whom she may well be more romantically attracted to than a male assistant just as Adam Hill and Bruce Gibson are widely known to use their positions to solicit females? And what is “same-sex”? A little fuzzy these days.


Same sex co workers in this brave new world will not prevent this problem.


Meet Nicole Nix,vampire,formerly a real estate agent in California Valley. What scheme has she conned you all into believing? Sexual harassment? Ha. I can guarantee she cooperated, if not openly pursued Adam until she had him backed up into a corner. Cunning, manipulative, and vindictive: that’s how the community of California Valley has described her for years.

If her mouth is moving, she’s lying. This is all about money. Too bad Adam died before she could come a settlement out of him.


I was not a fan of Adam Hill. Always thought he was creepy creepy creepy. However suicide is at serious issue. Depression as well. Seems like Mr Hill made his own bed. Should have stepped down long ago. He clearly had major issues.When the FBI steps in you know stuff is happening. Makes me wonder about the people that voted for him.


Same people that vote blindly for party and ignore bad behavior, ie, POTUS accused of rape from numerous women and sex with porn stars during his marriage, fraud, embezzlement, firing whistle blowers etc etc.


Trump voters put A-Hill in office? I’m looking for a bridge to buy…
