Lawsuit Against City Heads to District Court
A discrimination suit against the city of Aiken moves to a U S district court. City Manager Smart Bedenbaugh and former manager John Klinien are named, with former Public Works head Michelle Shepherd Jones alleging race and gender bias. Jones, an African American Seventh-day Adventist, says emails were monitored and she faced harassment, leading to wrongful termination. The case cites a 26 page filing and claims actions were made for legitimate business reasons without intent to harm. The city seeks a judge’s input and reimbursement of legal fees.
