County to pay settlement

According to Corporation Counsel Jeff Kuglitsch, Rock County will pay a $150,000 deductible, and the county’s liability insurance will cover the remaining $90,000. The money to pay the deductible comes from their liability fund.
“It’s the first disability discrimination I can recall,” Kuglitsch said. “And the county did what we felt we needed to do in this matter.”
