A lawsuit accuses Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt of racial discrimination and abuse of power for firing a janitorial contractor that employed illegal immigrants. The suit alleges discrimination because the fired company is owned by an African-born U.S. citizen, while white contractors own the company that subsequently obtained the contract. Blunt said he didn't know the race of the fired company's owner when he issued an executive order to cancel contracts with companies found to be using illegal immigrants.
