Former Etna Twp. employee sues, says age discrimination led to resignation

A former Etna Township administrator, more than a year after calling the township’s culture toxic , is suing the township, alleging trustees discriminated and retaliated against him because of his age. Bill Spurgeon, 63, became the township’s third administrator in 16 months in April 2025, but left just two months later after saying he would resign if the township didn’t change its culture . His lawsuit, filed in August, alleges that trustees made his working conditions so hostile that he felt no other choice than to quit. The township’s attorney, Patrick Kasson, declined to comment, but mentioned that Spurgeon didn't cite his allegations during his resignation. “We definitely think age was the deciding factor in why they made it so miserable for him,” Spurgeon’s attorney, Mike DeWitt, told The Advocate. “They wanted to get rid of him, so then they made his life miserable, so he quit.” In court records, the township denied the allegations, asked Licking County Common Pleas Judge David Branstool to dismiss the lawsuit because Spurgeon chose to resign. Spurgeon alleges he was constructively discharged, meaning people made his working environment so bad that it was intolerable. The lawsuit states Spurgeon seeks relief because he suffered damages,

This led to her working in the tech field, she is currently employed by Meta and has previously worked for Google.
