EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – Mayor Sonia Carter of El Centro says she faced discrimination while serving on the City Council, alleging she was treated differently from other council members.
Carter filed a $1 million claim against the city, saying she was denied basic resources, including an orientation manual, office access, and a benefit card, which she says made it difficult to do her job.
The city rejected her claim. In a statement, the city said, “At this time, no litigation has been filed. The city does not comment on potential or anticipated litigation.”
Carter now has six months to decide whether to take her case to court.
