If this was a retaliation claim, Ima is correct. The press coverage and attorneys’ opening and closing statements called it a discrimination claim, though this is, of course, not dispositive on the question of whether there was also a retaliation claim. Regardless, hitting taxpayers for $3 million+ is unreasonable, and the evidence of insubordination seems undisputed.

It sounds more a retailiation claim than a discrimination claim. Under such a claim it doesn’t matter who replaced you.
