Wilson v. Renner

rejecting award for emotional injury damages because mere conclu-sory statement that plaintiff was “very depressed” failed to establish causal connection between plaintiffs injuries and defendant’s discriminatory conduct | Seventh Circuit held that evidence was sufficient to establish that two of three employees were terminated because they worked against their township’s supervisor’s election | statements of employee admissible against employer in civil rights action where employee worked closely with declarant and was involved in decision-making process on which he spoke | “The test is whether the position held by the individual authorizes, either directly or indirectly, meaningful input into government decision making on issues where there is room for principled disagreement on goals or their implementation.”
