As most of you may recall, Hartford's Department of Public Works Director was terminated by the dishonorable Mayor Eddie A. Perez in late March after Perez accused Corbin of misusing city funds to hire a so-called "lobbyist". Typical of Perez and his mismanagement of the city, he shot first and asked questions later. The report of Hartford's City Auditor Patrick Campbell is attached below, and as you can see, the report was submitted to King Eddie on April 28, 2009, a month AFTER Corbin was terminated. Any normal, sane person would conduct the investigation first and then take action after the report was completed and laid out the facts. But, as you can see from the previous post regarding Hartford's COO Lee Erdmann, King Eddie's vindictive response is quick, and apparently not well thought out, when people cross him.
It might be time for Perez to work with the Council to increase that legal settlement account, I would say it is a safe bet that Mr. Corbin will potentially take a large chunk of it when he settles for his wrongful termination.
