The information about Teale is interesting. He told the Courant when he annouced his retirement that his decision to fire Dan Nolan was based on the facts. Hmm... What facts??? I predict that when the labor board decision on Dan Nolan's case is announced, the silver tongued Teale will be no where to be found.

This posting further underscores what I and others have already said. Perez's soldiers that remain employed by the city must be let go. If you look @ the state labor bd decision 2 names will jump out @ you: Santiago Malave and Ivan Ramos. These 2 I believe hardly ever prevail in cases brought forward by the HMEA union. As opposed to other unions, HMEA is slow to file @ the state; that is, HMEA tries to work it out with the city before resorting to state intervention in order to save both parties time and money. HMEA after all represents primarily the mid and upper managers in the city. We can only hope that Mayor Segarra acts swiftly to replace Perez's remaining foot soldiers so that the city may actually progress and not waste its limited resources on unnecessary law suits and state labor bd cases.

Good post Connor and it is one that I completely agree with.As Mayor Segarra makes his rounds and assesses someone as "bad for the city" in any respect,hopefully that person will be replaced by someone more competant.

"Secore was terminated after he struck the nephew of former Mayor Perez after Perez's nephew brutally attacked Secore's brother."

Not too biased are we?

and another thing...

What makes anyone think that "Segarra is making his rounds." to get rid of people who are "bad for the city"? Half of the names that have been listed on this blog as bad apples are not direct appointees and are probably union folk that no one can just let go.

Santiago can be let go but the City just announced a bunch of new hires. You think any Mayor looking to get rid of the Dir of HR would allow that same person to spearhead the first City new hires in years? I don't think so.

Finding someone "more competant than Malave shouldn't be much of a problem. He's just about useless.

Anonymous,

It's my blog and I can be biased, but I try not to. Simply look at the pictures taken of both parties and you would be hard pressed to find a mark on Reuben Perez. On the other hand, Slade Secore's eyes were swollen shut as well as bruising on and about his face, I believe he suffered a broken eye socket as well as numerous other injuries. That qualifies as a "brutal" beating in my book.

Kevin, you are right, Secore's brother was beaten brutally and severely. Stop gaps were in place to prevent Secore from striking the Mayor's nephew, simply put, those measures failed Secore. And the Sergeant who let Secore in the cell?- he only took a slap on the wrist (5 day suspension) on his way out the retirement door. But the question is, who decided to appeal the Secore (and Murtha)case after his arbitration award? I believe it was the department head (Roberts and McKoy)who have final say and would not let him back on the force. The chief could take Secore (and Murtha) back anytime but refuses. His and McKoy’s gaffs have already and will continue to cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. Secore (and Murtha) is already going to collect his back salary. Every day that passes he is banking a days pay, at the city's expense. You hit the nail on the head with Secore and Nolan. Wait until the Murtha award, wowzers$$!!! I fear that some of the junior corp lawyers have John Rose arrogance- and the same old issues will stick around. Somebody should FOI how much the city has spent fighting Murtha (they are paying an outside law firm to handle that case and other PD cases$$$) Better yet, somebody should FOI how much the city/PD has lost in Arbitration awards and the cost fighting them. Very interesting. The current Chief and McKoy have a very loose understanding of Labor and civil law, and the city pays dearly for it every day.

Lydia Rosaria has cost the city huge money with employee cases against her. She should go along with Santiago Malave.
