City Hall Employee
Utica, NY: (Dec-03-07) Larry Tanoury Jr., a former City Hall employee, brought charges against the city of Utica, alleging that his civil rights were violated when he was fired from the Urban Renewal Agency in 2004. Tanoury claimed that he was fired from his position as marketing director for the city's Urban Renewal Agency, and then arrested during the next several days for allegedly harassing Mayor Tim Julian and for using a city credit card to purchase $15 in gasoline two hours after his termination.
As part of a settlement reached, the city approved of paying Tanoury, 28, $75,000 to resolve allegations. City officials, however, stood firm in their defense that they did nothing wrong and they downplayed the settlement as a very inexpensive resolution. Under the settlement agreement, Tanoury Jr. was acquitted of the harassment charge, the gas theft charge was dismissed, and now city officials have agreed to resolve his civil lawsuit as well.
