Another former staff
member of ex-City Councilman Andy King claims he was mistreated by the
politician.
Comy Lewis reportedly
filed a lawsuit against King, saying that King “overworked” and “underpaid” his
staff.
King was expelled from
the City Council in 2020 due to ethics violations.
Lewis is the third former
staff member to sue King over alleged misconduct.
In response to the
current lawsuit, King’s attorney says Lewis gave “conflicting” testimony during
the investigation into his client.
The attorney for Lewis, Sally Mourad-Roubeni of Levine & Blit, PLLC,
stated that “the pattern of persistent discriminatory behavior displayed by
defendant King is reflective of his indifference to any form of law and
disregard for all human rights. King created an environment that was hostile
and fearful so as to ensure that his unlawful objects were met without
interference. It is unfortunate that Mr. Lewis and other staff members fell
victim to such predatory conduct and unlawful retaliation.”
