A former chief of the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s Administration Division has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the board.
Jaime Black, a Control Board employee since 2014 and appointed to head the Administration Division in June 2017, said in the lawsuit she was pressured by Control Board member Brittnie Watkins to engage in discriminatory hiring practices, then fostered a hostile work environment when she resisted.
A representative of the Control Board said the agency that oversees gaming regulation in the state had not been served with the lawsuit and had no immediate comment on it.
