Dubuque Firefighter Wins Lawsuit

A Dubuque firefighter has won a lawsuit she filed against the city and fire chief over claims of sexual harassment and discrimination. A jury in the civil trial reached a verdict Friday in favor of Jami Boss, finding she should be awarded $575-thousand dollars in damages.
