Betty Palmer, another candidate, scored 73 and got the job. Martin sued the county for reverse discrimination. The county said that both Martin and Palmer were qualified and that Palmer had gotten the job as part of a voluntary affirmative action plan designed to achieve a work force that reflected the race and gender composition of the county.
