The former chief of Alabama Public Television is suing the Alabama Educational Television Commission over its decision to fire him last month. Allan Pizzato claims the commission violated various state laws and statutes when it fired him and another top executive who spoke out against a proposal to air a controversial documentary series that suggests the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation. The complaint also alleges Commission chair Ferris Stephens is not eligible to serve in that position because a state statute says “no member of the commission shall hold any other office.” Stephens is an assistant attorney general. The lawsuit seeks to remove Stephens and void all decisions by the commission since his arrival in 2010. You can read the entire complaint here.
The federal judge presiding over a proposed class-action settlement of BP oil spill claims says two websites are misleading visitors into believing they are filing official claims. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier on Thursday ordered the operator of the sites — bpclaims.org and deepwaterhorizonsettlementclaims.com — to post disclaimers at the top of every page on the sites. Those disclaimers would state that the websites aren’t the court-authorized site. The site where residents can submit claims is deepwaterhorizonsettlements.com. In May, Barbier gave preliminary approval to a settlement proposal to resolve billions of dollars in claims by people and businesses who blame economic losses on the 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
