Louise Miller, Former CFO, to “recite the facts and issues” related to her “working conditions” at a future “appropriate time” – Is a MCAD Lawsuit coming?

After 38 days of patiently waiting for the city to release the record… mind you that the state law allows 10 business days… the city finally complied with public records law. Now
An in-home retail display of wares needed for a online clothing shop says ZBA petitioner… But, is it for a physical retail store as indicated by this influencer’s social media posts?

City getting sued for half-a-billion dollars… or is it $5-million? The lawsuit is very unclear.
On Dec 4, 2023 in the United States District Court, Sarah Catherine E. Spaulding filed suit against the City, demanding a jury trial and punitive damages of $500,000,000.
