Whistleblower claim will go to trial

The Court of Appeals reinstated a whistleblower case brought by Belinda Glover and Angela Speaks against the Pontiac Housing Commission.  The lower court had dismissed the case in reliance on the Defendant's claim that the termination of the Plaintiffs' employment was a result of budgetary considerations:  the Court of Appeals reversed, noting that the Plaintiffs had present adequate evidence of a pretextual firing to warrant a jury trial on the issue.
