Dumfries building official claims wrongful termination, sues mayor

DUMFRIES, Va. -- Dumfries Mayor Jerry Foreman is named in a lawsuit filed by a former town employee who claims he was wrongfully terminated.

Ray Jackson was hired January 18, 2016, to work as the town's building code enforcement official. After retiring from the Prince William County Government after working a similar job, Jackson was hired to work 32-hours per week in a part-time, exclusive capacity. He says he was terminated via an email sent by Foreman in mid-September.

Jackson is now seeking at least $500,000 in punitive damages from the town -- about 12% of the town's annual $4 million budget. Foreman did not return a request for comment on Tuesday for this story.
