Several defendants ask for Jilka case to be thrown out

11/20/2009

Several defendants in a federal lawsuit filed a month ago by Ann Rollins Johnson, former director of the Salina Housing Authority, say she doesn't have a case and have asked the court to dismiss the case.

Former Mayor Alan Jilka, who was the primary target of Johnson's allegations, and the city of Salina have not yet filed a response to the suit. The defendants who replied in the filing Thursday are the Salina Housing Authority; Troy Vancil, who was a member of the housing authority board before Johnson was fired in January 2008; and Carl Kiltz, Bruce Benyshek, Eric Householter and Katherine Hill, who were members of the board when Johnson was fired.
