ROSIE RIDES AGAIN
I'm not sure if that is an attempt at a smile or the result of something bad for lunch in the picture above, but Hartford's former Corporation Counsel John Rose has landed a new job after being terminated by Mayor Pedro Sagarra after he took office in June.
Surprise, surprise, surprise though. In true Hartford style, Rose has been hired by one of the very firms he paid tens of thousands of dollars to as "outside counsel" to through the Corporation Counsel's office. Rose has been hired by the Crumbie Law Group, LLC.
Apparently Mr. Rose may have been taking some night courses though because he now claims to be proficient in areas where he was a huge failure for the people of Hartford when he was Corporation Counsel -
* Municipal Litigation
* Commercial Litigation
* Real Estate Law
* Premises and Retail Property
* Personal Injury
* Municipal Services
* Corporate Governance
* Labor and Employment Law
He seems to have overlooked "Freedom of Information" related areas. I guess he still may not be comfortable with FOI cases.
It will be interesting if Mr. Rose plays as free and loose with the resources of the Crumbie Law Group as he did with the resources of the people of Hartford. For some reason I doubt that will happen when the money actually counts.
I hope Hartford takes Crumbie Law Group off it's list of outside law firms now that they know Rosie works there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Rosie is providing counsel to the CARC,the non profit that get about 500k each year from the City of Hartford and has hired Felon Perez as a consultant.I wouldnt be surprised if Rosie is also Eddie's council and worked on the employment agreement.
ReplyDeletehe'll be in good company with the other know-nothings
ReplyDeleteIsn't there something in the muni code or the code of ethics that says a former city official may not work for a city contractor for a specific amount of time after severing service with the city?
