FILE - In this April 17, 2012, file photo Charles Zanders and Tereasa Jefferson, right, look on during a news conference in Des Moines, Iowa. Iowa continues to maintain an internal "do not rehire" list of fired employees who are barred from returning to state employment, even though judges have raised questions about its legality, according to a review by The Associated Press. Jefferson argued in a December trial that a white manager fired her during a probationary period in 1999, and had her added to the list. Jefferson said she unsuccessfully applied for positions repeatedly before learning in 2005 she was barred. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)
