Fired Meteorologist Sues Rochester Mayor

Fired News10NBC Meteorologist Jeremy Kappell is filing a lawsuit against the City of Rochester and Mayor Lovely Warren.

According to a blog post on his website, KappellWeather.com, Kappell says after almost a full year of deliberation he decided to file lawsuit regarding Warren's involvement in his termination from News10. He says he and his family have "suffered greatly" because of her actions and she has taken zero responsibility.

Kappell was fired after being accused of using a racial slur on-air. He says the incident was an honest flub when he mixed up his words.

City Corporation Counsel Tim Curtin says in a statement that Kappell was fired before the Mayor or City Council issued a public statement about his words.
