FLINT (AP) -- A Genesee County worker who received a $450,000 payout from the county earlier this month to settle a reverse-discrimination lawsuit has a long history of successfully suing for settlement money.

The Flint Journal reports in an article published Monday that Dennis Goodman has sued government entities, businesses and at least one individual going back more than two decades.

Goodman's claims have included 1985 allegations of sexual harassment by a former general manager of the Flint-area Mass Transportation Authority and the reverse-discrimination case settled Jan. 7.

Officials say Goodman knows how to work the system to his advantage.

Goodman's attorney, Glen Lenhoff, counters that complaints about past lawsuits are nothing more than sour grapes.
