A federal judge has dismissed a wrongful termination case brought on by a former Riley County employee after.
Olsburg resident Steven DeHart and the Riley County Commission agreed to a settlement Monday. DeHart worked as an environmental health specialist, but was fired in 2017. He had alleged the county commission violated his First Amendment rights after speaking up about a private sewer hookup on the property of Commissioner Ron Wells, who earlier this year began a repayment plan with the city after receiving years of free sewer service.
DeHart also he alleged he blew the whistle on supposed public water environmental issues. A federal judge in May found that claim was not valid as it was part of his duties.
Terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.
