EDWARDSVILLE A civil lawsuit was filed Thursday by Madison County’s former administrator Doug Hulme and Information Technology Director Robert Dorman against Alton, Edwardsville, Granite City and Collinsville.
The two-count suit, filed April 15 by attorney Edward Moorman, alleges the cities provided manpower to an “anti-corruption task force” whose investigation led to the county’s firing of Hulme and Dorman in April 2020.
The suit claims the officers involved “intentionally and unjustifiably induced a breach of said employment contracts by specifically calling for the termination of each plaintiff’s employment and by making false and unsupported accusations of improper conduct and in some cases alleged criminal misconduct.”
