A rival of Stafford Township Mayor John Spodofora who claimed that the mayor retaliated against him when he said Spodofora lied about his Vietnam War record has agreed to a $34,000 settlement with the township, according to nj.com
Retired Navy Master Chief Earl Galloway settled the lawsuit in June, more than two years after he posted a spoof Facebook page about the mayor's exaggerations and mistruths about his war record.
