(Salem, OR) - The City of Salem is no longer fighting benefits being claimed by the widow of a firefighter. Maurice "Mo" Stadeli died of throat cancer in 2019. His widow filed a workers' compensation claim after Staeli worked for Salem for 28 years. The city denied her benefits, but lost their legal battle, and had planned to appeal the case to the Oregon Supreme Court. But at a Council meeting Monday night, the city attorney announced he would be dropping that appeal and accepting the court's ruling.
