Allegations of racial discrimination by former PMUA Chief Financial Officer James Perry are detailed in a Courier News article today by reporter Sergio Bichao. The full lawsuit and answer from PMUA attorney Leslie London are online accompanying the article.
Authority commissioners who are being sued approved hiring two law firms for their defense, each at the rate of $190 hourly, at the Jan. 14 meeting.
See page 21 of the Jan. 10, 2012 minutes for remarks by Cecil Sanders on why former Executive Director Eric Watson and Assistant Director David Ervin deserved large settlements.
Sanders was an alternate on the board when he gave the third vote necessary to approve the settlements. He was subsequently given a full term and named chairman of the PMUA board. The board will reorganize next month, choosing officers for 2014.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness....and I believe Cecil Sanders, an alternate, got to vote because the mayor's minister, then a PMUA commissioner, now a City Council member, was absent..
