The city of Los Angeles will pay $1.43 million to settle claims by a black firefighter who said he suffered harassment and discrimination after co-workers served him spaghetti laced with dog food. Tennie Pierce's lawsuit was to go to trial on Monday. As part of the settlement, Pierce has reportedly agreed to resign and drop all claims against the city. The payment is considerably less than a $2.7 million settlement the city council had agreed to pay Pierce last year, but which was vetoed by the mayor.
