A former St. Louis County Councilwoman and member of Sam Page’s administration has filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the county. Hazel Erby’s suit, filed Friday, accuses Page of firing her as the county’s director of diversity, equity and inclusion in August because she told Page that a contract for a temporary morgue did not have enough participation from minority- or women-owned businesses.

Hazel Erby said in a tweet posted Tuesday that County Executive Sam Page told her, “I do not need you on my staff anymore.” She added in a second tweet: “I will not be silent! Blacks are NOT valued in this administration, particularly black women!” She did not immediately return a request for additional comment.
