Anti-poverty agency South Middlesex Opportunity Council is suing the officials and residents of Framingham, Massachusetts for discrimination. The lawsuit, filed in Boston, is claiming that town officials and two residents have violated the civil rights of the disabled people they represent.
According to the lawsuit the Framingham officials and residents engaged in a “not in my backyard” effort to rid the town of the disabled residents in a group home. In addition, the allegations claim that the officials and residents illegally delayed the expansion of the group home.
The most recent lawsuit is the third in two years against the city claiming civil rights violations.
