Tammy Bonner and Bachera Washington are alleging they were outed for being critical of the city's leadership and filed a complaint with the Employee Management Relations Board. "The complaint argues 'Mayor John Lee was abusing his office to hire friends and acquaintances who weren't qualified for city jobs. The hiring’s had a trend — white members of the Mormon Church, Lee's religion,'" according to the story. After the pair spoke out, they allege the city outsourced their jobs in order to get rid of them.
