Rosemead councilman and harassment suit
We're getting word that a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Rosemead finance worker Valerie Mazone against Councilman John Nunez sexually has been dropped. Mazzone claimed in April that Nunez harassed her since September 2005 at City Hall, which he and the city deny. Speculation is that a settlement has been struck, but the city is unaware of one. City officials could be out of the loop since, apparently, it's been dealt with by a Joint Powers Authority. It would be surprising if Mazzone's lawyer just dropped the case since it's gone this far, but you never know. We trying to track it down.
UPDATE:Apparently the settlement was $330,000. The money will come out of the jpa. Attorney fees could add nearly $70,000 or more. * We'll have it in the paper tomorrow.
UPDATE II: on attorney fees, the jpa is paying that as well we are being told.

I highly doubt that Oliver "The Happiest City Manager in Southern California" Chi isn't aware of something like this.
