SCRANTON - A former Lackawanna County deputy sheriff with more than two decades of tenure brought a lawsuit against the county and Sheriff Mark McAndrew for alleged freedom of speech and civil rights violations, according to documents filed Feb. 26 in Scranton federal court.
In April 2018, an unfair labor practice charge was filed with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board against the sheriff s office for choosing a less qualified officer for promotion over Capman and for allegedly retaliating against a grievance the plaintiff filed in 2017 by denying him opportunities as acting sergeant while a colleague was on medical leave. The investigators in this claim found that the sheriff definitively retaliated against the plaintiff by not promoting him due to the grievance, the suit says.
PITTSBURGH – An organization promoting the teaching of Christianity through literacy has settled legal action with its former President and Director of Children’s Literacy Ministry, after claiming they did not return essential materials to the group after their termination.
Allegheny County Literacy Council, Inc., Christian Literacy Associates (CLA) of Wexford first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Nov. 2 versus Chris Ebner and Jennie Ebner, of Butler.
“Dr. William Kofmehl, Jr. founded CLA in 1976. CLA’s mission is to engage in Christian ministry through the promotion of literacy. CLA has provided basic reading textbooks, tutor training, and consultation services for churches, parents, and ministries. At its height, CLA served hundreds to thousands of individuals per year and trained hundreds of literacy tutors to engage in the same type of work,” the suit stated.
