Monroe whistleblower case set for trial
MONROE — An Oct. 9 trial date has been scheduled for a case in which a former city of Monroe wastewater operator claims he was terminated for activities as a whistleblower after he notified Michigan environmental regulators about some unauthorized discharges to western Lake Erie in 2021. Nathan Carr’s allegations of wrongful termination will be heard by a U.S. District Court jury in Detroit unless there is a settlement before then. His attorney, Joseph X. Michaels of Ann Arbor, told The Blade on Monday he doubts there will be a settlement now, although he acknowledged the case is still technically in settlement discussions. A settlement appeared possible last December. “I think it’ll go to trial,” Mr. Michaels said. “That’s more of a gut feeling than anything, though.”
