A veteran Williamsport Bureau of Police lieutentant claims in a federal lawsuit that he was passed over for promotions because he filed complaints on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 29 against anti-union activity.
Lt. Steven Helm, supervisor of daywatch, this week asserted in the complaint in U.S. Middle District Court his rights to free speech were violated. The lawsuit identified Mayor Derek Slaughter, former Mayor Gabriel J. Campana and the City of Williamsport as defendants.
Slaughter, who returned a telephone call for comment, said any statements regarding the lawsuit would need to come from J. David Smith or Austin White, the city solicitors and firm of McCormick Law.

City Council’s Ad Hoc City Hall Committee recommended to remain at City Hall, build a handicap accessible ramp and form another committee to explore a public safety building construction.
Councilman Adam Yoder, committee chairman, said over the past seven or eight months the committee looked at the financial and logistical options of either remaining in the building or relocating to Trade and Transit Centres I or II in the 100 block of West Third Street.
By staying in City Hall, if that’s what council votes on, it will mean accessibility projects will be a priority, including a ramp on the west side of the building leading into the police department connecting with the existing ramp.
