Watseka investigates class action lawsuit options
By CARLA WATERS\Managing Editor

The Watseka city attorney is investigating the city's part in a class action lawsuit filed against the maker of body armor.

Watseka Police Chief Roger Lebeck told the city's Public Safety Committee last night.
Lebeck said the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In the meantime there is an allegation 'and it is an allegation at this point', he said, that some fibers in some of the vests are not up to standards.

Some officers are wearing vests with those fibers, he said.

Lebeck said he asked city attorney Mike Dietchweiler to look at the lawsuit and see what the city's action should be.

'I was not able to talk to him before tonight's meeting,' Lebeck said.

If the city is not going to be involved in the lawsuit, he said there is a deadline to respond in that regard.

Mayor Ted Martin said, 'I'm more concerned about substantiating the allegations. If it's true, we need to see if we need to replace the body armor.'

A full version of this story appears in the March 29 edition of the Times-Republic."

Arthur Andersen accused of negligence in class action suit. - Mar. 29, 2005: "NEW YORK (Dow Jones) - A lawyer for a group of WorldCom Inc. stockholders and bondholders said former auditor Arthur Andersen LLP was more concerned with 'lining its own pockets' than catching a massive accounting fraud at the telecommunications company.

As opening statements began in a class-action lawsuit here on Tuesday, Sean Coffey, who is representing the case's lead plaintiff New York State Common Retirement Fund, said auditors at Arthur Andersen were the only people in a position to catch the fraud and put a stop to it early.

Instead of asking tough questions of WorldCom's top executives or continuing to demand access to company records, Andersen shrugged its shoulders and acquiesced to a client that paid the firm more than $40 million in auditing and consulting fees in a three-year span, Coffey said..."
