federal lawsuit

In a federal lawsuit, former assistant cheerleading coach Siobhan St. John alleges she was discriminated against because of her advocacy for Black employees.

The city has already spent close to $400,000 to plant more than 1,200 trees, with many of them in historically Black neighborhoods.

ATF agent James Burk sued the city after he said Columbus police tased and handcuffed him while he was trying to confiscate a gun at a city residence.
