$1 million lawsuit filed by ex-Clatsop County clerk heads to trial
ASTORIA, Ore. — The case of a former Clatsop County clerk who filed a $1 million lawsuit against the county after she was fired in 2014 is set for trial.
The Daily Astorian reports that the county's attorney had requested that the case brought by Maeve Kennedy Grimes be dismissed, but a judge denied the motion Monday and set trial for May 24.
Former County Manager Scott Somers fired Kennedy Grimes in December 2014 after two errors were found on the November general election ballot.
The lawsuit claims Kennedy Grimes contacted the Secretary of State's Office after being alerted to the mistakes and was directed to distribute supplemental ballots. Kennedy Grimes claims Somers was upset she didn't include him in that decision.
