Township says budgetary matters prompted firing; case settles at mediation
Plaintiff, acting police chief for defendant, sued the township on claims of Whistleblower Protection Act violation.

The township argued that Plaintiff’s termination was for budgetary reasons.
The matter settled before a three-person mediation panel for $50,000.
