Have You Heard?

Well, it may be just talk - but we don't think so.
According to our sources, Mary Wilcox, former Stockbridge Police Officer, has settled her lawsuit with the Village.
You remember, right? She went off on a medical leave after injuring herself on the job. Then, according to former Village employees, refused to report back to work after being medically cleared. (that's what they said then)  Her subsequent lawsuit alleged gender and weight bias, and a hostile work environment.
She has allegedly settled for 6 figures.
We don't know what those 6 figures are.
We're going to assume they are 1 through 9, but we don't know the order. And there are probably a couple of zero's in there as well.
The Michigan Municipal League handled the suit, and paid the legal fees. Insurance covered the settlement.
So, after figuring her lawyer got his third, she still walked away with a nice chunk of change.
What about this doesn't seem right to you?
Did we forget to mention that she was also "forgiven" an approximate $6000 overpayment in unemployment benefits?
Yeah, evidently she was misinformed by some one at the unemployment office about what constitutes income. So, the State of Michigan said, "well, seeing as how you were misinformed..."
We will have to close this post here.
We suddenly need a super sized dose of that pink stuff for your stomach.

  1. Unbelievable, simply unbelievable.

    Let's give Dancer and King a round of applause folks. The dynamic duo strikes again. Ms. Wilcox needed to go, but for the right reasons, she was a piss poor cop, period. And King knew that before he hired her - he was warned. Be glad we have insurance through the MML - otherwise our grandkids would be bearing this burden. Wonder if our premiums will go up?

    Just too unbelievable.....
