Two women whose complaints helped lead to the termination of former Reno City Manager Andrew Clinger last year have filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against city.
The lawsuit filed in federal court on Aug. 1 reveal for the first time the names of the women who came forward with allegations Clinger had created a sexually hostile workplace and then retaliated against them for complaining about it.
Deanna Gescheider, the city's former communications director, and Maureen McKissick, former assistant to the city manager, both resigned from the city late last year.
Reno City Attorney Karl Hall told the Reno Gazette-Journal (http://tinyurl.com/y85od4ds) the allegations in the lawsuit are without merit. He's vowing to defend the city but says he will assign the case to the deputy city attorney.
