MACUNGIE, Pa. — The Borough of Macungie in Lehigh County is facing another lawsuit on Saturday night.
This one is filed by the former Borough Manager.
That makes three lawsuits filed against the Borough this year by its own employees.
This latest lawsuit was filed by former Borough Manager John Brown in federal court.
He alleges the Borough fired him illegally, terminating his employment during an executive session closed to the public.
He also claims he was retaliated against because members of Borough Council allegedly asked Brown to do things he believed were against the law, like giving them access to Borough bank accounts and the payroll system.
Another lawsuit was filed against the Borough earlier this year by Borough Mayor Robert Sell, and a third lawsuit was filed by two Borough police officers, Sergeant Travis Kocher and Corporal Michael Mullen.
