The city of Seattle, Washington, has agreed to pay $2.4 million to settle a lawsuit that claimed the office of then-Mayor Jenny Durkan mishandled public records requests during 2020.
The $2.3 million payout is in addition to nearly $800,000 spent by the city to defend the case.
The agreement says the settlement isn’t an admission of wrongdoing and prohibits the parties from talking publicly about the settlement amount. "There’s been no accountability," she said."These officials basically got away with it and the taxpayers are paying." An attorney for Chen called the investigation unfair, among other things arguing it failed to account for the involvement of others.
