If nothing else, Northampton County Executive John Brown has made some lawyers very happy. His decisions have resulted in three lawsuit over the past three months.

The first of these was filed in February by Jill Mancini, a former assistant solicitor who claims she was a career service employee who was entitled to due process before being fired. The second, a declaratory judgment action, was filed by the controller over the executive's award of an $84,000 no-bid contract to a public relations firm.

Now he's facing a third suit, filed by former Sheriff Randy Miller. Like Mancini, Miller claims he was a career service employee who was fired without cause.

Miller, Bethlehem's former police commissioner, is represented by Attorney Jason Schiffer, another former Bethlehem police chief.
