BREC commissioners served with summons from employee whose termination was overturned during meetingBATON ROUGE - BREC Commissioners were served with a summons in a civil action lawsuit from an employee who had their termination overturned. Smith, who worked at BREC, said she refused to process payments that violated department policies, including using "current funds to pay old invoices." Civil summons were issued for BREC Interim Superintendent Janet Simmons, BREC Commissioner Mike Polito, Central Mayor Wade Evans, St. George Mayor Dustin Yates, Zachary Mayor David McDavid and more. Video from Thursday's meeting shows a person handing paperwork to Polito, telling him he's receiving a summons to appear in court. Additionally, WBRZ received paperwork from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to Smith issued in April 2026, telling Smith she had the right to sue BREC.
