Lawsuit against Tupelo Regional Airport Authority Board dismissed

TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) — A federal court judge has dismissed a civil lawsuit filed by Terry Anderson over his termination from the Tupelo Regional Airport.

Anderson was fired as executive director in 2009 by the Tupelo Regional Airport Authority Board.

In his lawsuit, Anderson claims the firing volated his rights to free speech, and his replacement was much younger and had less experience.

In his ruling, U. S. District Judge Mike Mills says Anderson did not prove his firing was illegal on either claim.
