Shero vs Grove Suit Continues

It all started over "the packet," or backup information given to city council and others prior to each council meeting. Grove Resident Earl Shero and at that time an employee of Grand Savings Bank, was denied access to the packet so he filed suit against the city.
Later in May of this year, Shero filed suit against the city of Grove after he was refused a copy of the tape recording from the March 15, 2004 city council meeting.
However, the city says no such recording exists, as recordings were at that time routinely overtaped and used again and again, rather than using fresh individual meeting tapes.
This week, council voted on a motion that if Shero would drop his lawsuit against the city and pay his attorney fees, the city would pay its attorney fees, for the suit over tape recordings.
This fell apart Wednesday when Shero refused the offer.
District Judge Barry Denney said he would make a decision on this case within three weeks after Oct. 20.
Shero also has a separate case before the Oklahoma Supreme Court where he asks the court to decide whether or not an employer can terminate an employee for seeking information and asking questions of government.
