MI Library settles Director lawsuit for $310,000

The Bay County (Michigan) Library System will pay the former director a settlement of $310,000, but he will not be paid a pension. He was fired in March 2006 as Bay County Library System director for alleged failure to perform his job, poor relations with employees, using profanity and breach of contract, among other listed reasons.

He then sued the board, seeking more than $1.3 million for wrongful discharge, defamation and violation of civil rights.
