$182,000 in Library Board Bennies Leads to Lawsuit

Library board faces state suit. (Indianapolis Star, 4/21/2011)

Excerpt: Indiana is suing six East Chicago Public Library Board members seeking repayment of more than $182,000 in health and life insurance benefits.

Attorney General Greg Zoeller contends in the lawsuit filed Monday in Lake County that the Library Board members weren't entitled to benefits they received at taxpayer expense. Zoeller also contends that the six board members and two other board members should be held jointly responsible for reimbursing more than $12,000 billed to the library by a former library director for expenses not related to work.
