Judge to decide if firefighter discrimination lawsuit advances

A Federal District Court judge in Nebraska will decide whether or not a jury will determine the outcome of a discrimination lawsuit against the Omaha Fire Department. <br />The civil rights lawsuit filed by former Omaha firefighter Jane Crudup described "deeply disparaging treatment" from the fire department. The lawsuit has been blasted by city attorneys who call it "simply a money grab" by a former employee "looking for a windfall from the citizens of this City."
