Dollar bill settles lawsuit against county
Franklin County will pay $1 to a jail inmate who dropped a civil rights lawsuit against the county and its staff. The agreement dismisses the case with prejudice, with no admission of fault. The inmate, Romaul Washington, had claimed privacy, medical care, housing, clothing, and religious rights violations. Washington pled guilty to a reduced drug charge and awaits sentencing. In related action, Larry D. Kelly received 15 years for attempted cocaine possession and court costs. The commission also discussed a deferred compensation plan with Aetna for county employees, noting policy rigidity for early withdrawals.
