The Mississippi Senate discriminated against a Black attorney by paying her about half of what her white colleagues were paid for the same job.
The New Braunfels Police Department announced a fourth arrest in connection with an Oct. 1, 2024 murder. From left to right: Richard Rosas, Jacob Rowser, Justin Sherard and Marcus Gonzales.
Metcalfe's starting salary was $55,000, while other Senate staff attorneys were paid $95,550 to $121,800, according to the lawsuit. The other attorneys received pay raises about a month after Metcalfe was hired, making their salary range $114,000 to $136,416. Metcalfe did not receive a raise then. “We do not comment on pending litigation,” said the current secretary of the Senate, Amanda Frusha White, who works for Hosemann.
