Prov. Loses Appeal In Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

(Providence, RI)  --  The U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals is upholding an award of half-a-million-dollars to a former Providence firefighter.  Lieutenant Lori Franchina sued the city claiming her co-workers harassed her because she's a woman and a lesbian.  Franchina claimed she had filed complaints with the department prior to her retiring in 2013.  Mayor Elorza says the city will not appeal the latest three-judge panel decision.
