Oh Kevin....how can I thank you for such entertaining reading material? You are really cutting into my book club time! Do you think Teale was wise enough to tell his wife about the numerous lap dances and his obvious addiction to strip clubs before she, all her friends, neighbors, family and basically every acquaintance read how scummy he actually is?

Time to curl up with a good blog....

Excellent article,Kevin! I can't believe that the city had the audacity to offer Dan such a poor settlement. The testimony is transparent. Thank You for posting this.

That is only the beginning on the transcripts. Much more to come from Chief Teale, Assistant Chief Parker who testified to the incompetence of recruits Nolan failed out of the Academy, Lt Dalton who had a much different version of facts than those testified to by Teale and numerous recruits who just about everyone testified they were better firefighters because of Nolan's training methods.

Keep reading and commenting

So...some brainiac out of the Corporation Counsel Office thought that they should "settle" with Nolan for what he already was awarded by the arbitrator and then expect him to resign? LMAO!!

Kevin;
Very well said. Indeed the idiots offered Nolan what he had already won in artbitration; who do they think he is ----THEM!! It's sad to think that the good people of Hartford are losing out on this. First with recruits that were justifiably dismissed as INCOMPETENT are now serving as FF's, (except for the one that failed the drug test -- guess even the corrupt mayor couldn't get around that one). Then losing one of the best, if not the best, training officer the city has ever seen. And that's all before it hits their pockets. Please vote as many of this arses out of office as you can this November (and vote YOU in) and maybe this issue will be resolved, correctly and justly, before Nolan returns home.
GREAT pictures by the way!!!

yes, rJo Winch was involved, keep reading the transcripts, the picture will be come much clearer as to why they had to remove Dan Nolan. Read about the Firefighter who used to work in Perez's office and then was sent to the State Academy to accomodate his hiring, supposedly the only Hartford firefighter EVER to not attend Hartford;'s Academy and the Union's involvement in starting the whole complaint against Nolan should provide some very interesting reading.

Even if you weren't a Nolan supporter, I think you might change your mind after reading the facts.

Wait a minute Kevin...now I'm really confused. The same Union President Fusco who pushed for Dan's dismissal, one of the cowards who bent over and grabbed his ankles when the Mayor and Teale told him to, is one and the same who, as soon as Nolan won, tried to say that he backed him all along, even going so far as to write him a hilarious letter telling him that THEY had won this FOR him (had nothing to do with his innocence of course)? Is that what this is telling me??

Wow, how much trust will the firefighters have in their Union President now? He did a complete 180. How many faces does that ugly mug have? I guess it's easy to do 180 degree spins when you have NO SPINE. There have to be much more honest and certainly better qualified firefighters that can give these everyday heroes what they deserve. I hope all honest firefighters consider running for office, there’s enough crookedness in the world, let’s clean up the Union. These firefighters risk their lives every day, they need someone watching their backs, not stabbing them in their backs.

Dan Nolan was referred to as a "former" Deputy Fire Chief? Like his father, Danny will ALWAYS be a fire chief no matter what obstacles befall him. He will persevere...I fully agree with another forum contributor's words about Danny Nolan...People like him have allowed Hartford to remain afloat...

and why should he agree to resign? because the money is right? I guess you can say that our politicians are saying serving hartford correctly is not right.
They are wrong. He is right. I hope he stands his ground, continues to battle this out. Thank you to him for serving my city properly. We need more like you Nolan!

It was never any doubt that the liars, Teale, Fusco, and Perez would get found out. All three of them belong in jail, not just the crooked mayor. The crooked lying fire chief, and the lying mayors asslicking union president Fusco. I am a firm believer in what comes around goes around. Teale being on the take came as no surprise to me, I wonder how many invitations to speaking events he will get now that people know hes a liar and on the take. As for Fusco, he has always been a liar and always tries to put a spin on his crooked activities, tries to take credit for things he has nothing to do with and tries to cover his ass with his 180 spins. He threw Nolan under the bus to begin with and over 2 years later he wants to call 911 for him, of course only after it was found out by everyone his backstabbing ways, but there is more to come on the crooked usekess scumbag Fusco, I wonder if he will visit his bitch Eddie in prison. As for Chief Nolan, be careful on your deployment, it takes alot of intestinal fortitude to do what you do. Come back in one piece and take your job back. Good luck to you and God Bless. As for the 3 stooges, Perez, Fusco, and Teale, they will get whats coming to them sooner or later.

Kevin, it is obvious that you know the Former Deputy Chief Dan Nolan quite well. An honorable man who was wrongfully accused. Throughout this entire process, Dan Nolan was certain that he would be cleared of all accusations. Because he did nothing wrong. What is sickening is how some union leadership, city officials and the administration worked up this scheme against Nolan. The City dragged this on for years and attempted to destroy this mans reputation. Did they think Nolan would just go away? Obviously, they did not know who they were dealing with. Now we know the truth. Dan Nolan will be back after he serves this country once again. Maybe this time the City will be offering what they wrongfully took from him years ago...his job.

So; whats the next step here? They city "offered", and Chief Nolan obviously refused. How long can they realistically stretch this out before they have to do something?

The ridiculousness of this from start to finish is confounding. It stinks that the mayor and the chief of the department were corrupt as could be, but how sad is it that the firefighters cannot trust their own union leadership?

Teale's testimony makes him sound like a complete buffoon, but I loved this part from Corpotation Councel Ivan Ramos (p. 56):

THE ARBITRATOR: Thank you. We may proceed forward. Let's bring chief -- MR. RAMOS: I would like to ask that the witness, Mr. Nolan, would stop staring at me like he has been. THE ARBITRATOR: Hold it. MR. RAMOS: I did not get a good feeling from his looks and I just want to state that.

Waaaaah!!!! He's looking at me!!!
