Lawsuit filed against Duchesne
In a suit filed in 3rd District Court this week by, the Antidiscrimination and Labor Division of the Utah Labor Commission accused the commissioners of "a pattern of discriminatory conduct."
The claims stem from three applications for group homes in Duchesne County filed by Uintah Mountain Housing on Feb. 1, 2005. The applications were rejected three days later based solely on "public clamor," according to the Labor Commission.
According to an earlier lawsuit, the defendants cited safety concerns as the reason for denying a conditional use application. "The neighbors have also raised issues of safety. No matter how you characterize it this is a facility for troubled youth, and troubled youth have their problems."
Uintah Mountain and the Labor Commission sued for damages Monday. The lawsuit names the county and then-county commissioners Kent Peatross, Larry Ross and Lorna Stradinger as defendants. Attempts to reach Peatross, Ross and Stradinger were not immediately successful.
