A federal lawsuit alleging Madison County fired a former employee after she accused a county board member of sexual harassment has cost taxpayers more than $320,000, and there could be more to come.
In March 2019, Kristen Poshard filed suit against the county, alleging she was fired for complaining that board member Philip Chapman, of Highland, had repeatedly sexually harassed her in 2017 and that county administrators did nothing to stop it.
