The City of Statesboro will once again dip into its revenue-strapped coffers to settle a lawsuit with a disgruntled former employee. City Council members voted last week to offer former City Engineer Maz Elhaj a settlement of $240,000 to drop a lawsuit he filed in 2008. Half of the settlement would be paid from the city’s general fund and the other half by the city’s insurance company, Georgia Interlocal Risk Management Agency (GIRMA).
