TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas will pay $50,000 to settle a federal anti-discrimination lawsuit filed by a former state Highway Patrol employee who claimed to have been fired for coming out as transgender.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and eight leaders of the Republican-controlled Legislature unanimously approved the settlement during a brief online video conference Thursday. The state attorney general’s office pursued the settlement in defending the Highway Patrol, but any agreement it reaches also must be approved by the governor and top lawmakers.
Kelly and the legislators didn’t publicly discuss the settlement, and the amount wasn’t disclosed until the state released their formal resolution approving the settlement nearly four hours after their meeting. Kelly’s office and the offices of Senate President Ty Masterson and House Speaker Dan Hawkins did not respond to emails seeking comment after the meeting.

The employee who was fired is just a mentally challenged man pretending to be female.
Correct just want one wants to have on the force.
Just remember all this if someone reboots Highway Patrol or CHiPS.
Of course they will
There is no such thing as a ‘transgender.’
$50K is an extremely low settlement. No matter what, if a complainant is willing to settle a discrimination lawsuit for that amount you jump at it. Your own lawyers would cost you triple that amount to litigate the suit.
50k is amount to settle nuisance suits.
You MUST keep a mentally ill person as a Police? INSANITY
Exactly the right guy but didn’t come out, he changed to female.
Bruce Jenner (also Olympic champion on Wheaties boxes) changed to Caitlyn Jenner.
“In June 2015, Jenner debuted her new name and image, and began publicly using feminine pronoun self-descriptors.”
50k? Lawyer gets 40%, deviant gets 30k and has to pay taxes. This is a “go away” settlement. Chump change.
That’s some cheap s/he/it!
Deviant gets 30K but must pay taxes on the FULL 50K.
Lawyer’s share is also taxed†.
Double taxation.
†But lawyer, as a business, can claim all sorts of expenses against that revenue which only becomes “income” if and when it exceeds expenses.
Since it was only 50 gs, it sounds like someone in support or clerical and not a patrol officer.
Exactly right. This is chump change in the field of employment discrimination
Only 50K? Chump change. LOL.
The Federal lawsuit says you pretend or give us $50,000!
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
