Construction Company Files $5.2 Million Suit Against Shreveport

The Times reports that bankrupt Shreveport-based Whitaker Construction filed a $5.2 million lawsuit against the City of Shreveport on Monday. The lawsuit alleges that the city refused to pay Whitaker the amounts due for its work on the Independence Stadium in a reasonable time period, which ultimately resulted in its financial problems. "City administrators are expected today to ask the City Council to approve the hiring of attorney Joseph Greenwald to pursue a counter-suit alleging Whitaker did not finish the almost $14 million Independence Stadium project in the time line outlined in the contract."
