A lawsuit filed by the former staff attorney for the Georgia ethics commission is headed to mediation. The state paid Elisabeth Murray-Obertein $477,000 in 2014 to settle a whistleblower suit she filed against the agency and its former director, Holly LaBerge. Later that year, Murray-Obertein filed a second suit against the agency, accusing LaBerge of maligning her in the media.
The state has already paid out more than $3.5 million resulting from charges of retaliation against employees at what was then known as the State Ethics Commission in the wake of an alleged cover-up of campaign finance violations by Nathan’s Deal’s 2010 campaign to become governor.
