A former state worker has reached a settlement in her lawsuit against the Maine Department of Health and Human Services that accused supervisors of ordering her to shred public documents and retaliating against her when she declined.
The Lewiston Sun Journal reported that a lawyer representing Sharon Leahy-Lind, a former division director at the Maine Center for Disease Control, and office manager Katie Woodbury announced on Tuesday the settlement with CDC supervisors and the DHHS.
