Another lawsuit v. City of Spokane
A second federal lawsuit has been filed against the city of Spokane related to the dismissal of former police Chief Frank Straub. Nancy Goodspeed, a former spokeswoman for the Parks Department, filed the $1 million lawsuit Monday against the city, Mayor David Condon, members of his staff and a contractor providing medical employment screening. Goodspeed alleges she was illegally replaced by Monique Cotton, the Spokane Police Department spokeswoman who said Straub sexually harassed her, and discriminated against when she tried to return to work following treatments for Parkinson’s disease. “They were treating her as so disabled, that she wasn’t going to come back,” said Kevin Roberts, the Spokane attorney representing Goodspeed./Kip Hill, SR.
