First Responders File Suit against Dallas Mayor, City Manager and City Council Members

DALLAS, Texas—May 6, 2010—City of Dallas fire fighters and police officers filed suit today against the Mayor of Dallas, the City Manager and City Council members in an attempt to resolve litigation pending for 16 years. The long delayed and ongoing litigation revolves around the City of Dallas’ refusal to pay these First Responders what they are owed under a 1979 voter-approved referendum.

“City of Dallas attorneys invited these individual suits against City of Dallas officials,” said Terry Scarborough, lead trial attorney representing the Dallas First Responders. “We had no choice but to serve the mayor himself and other city officials with the lawsuit after City attorneys told us we could not file suit against the City itself and had to instead file
against City officials.”
