Several former employees of the Fort Wayne State Developmental Center filed a class-action lawsuit in Marion Superior Court, seeking monetary damages as the result of an improper privatization process.

...... The lawsuit claims that many employees lost the benefits associated with state employment, and that the contract with Liberty should be declared void.

"The Daniels administration flagrantly violated the law," said David Warrick, executive director of AFSCME, the union representing the employees.
