A former fire investigator who brought a retaliation lawsuit against the City of Charlotte will receive $1.1 million as part of a settlement. In May, a jury found the city retaliated against Crystal Eschert for raising safety concerns. City officials said Eschert was fired over a Facebook post they found offensive and inflammatory. She was awarded $1.5 million. The city appealed and Eschert pushed to triple the damages. City Attorney Bob Hagemann says the city council decided it was, "best to end the dispute and move on."
Lisa Worf traded the Midwest for Charlotte in 2006 to take a job at WFAE. She worked with public TV in Detroit and taught English in Austria before making her way to radio. Lisa graduated from University of Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in English.
