CITY MOVES TO APPEAL NOLAN DECISION


If you read the hearing officers report on the Dan Nolan hearings, it seems pretty clear that he found no wrong doing on the part of Deputy Chief Dan Nolan. In fact, many of the witnesses called on behalf of the city, actually seemed as though they were better witnesses for Nolan.

Yet now the City of Hartford is moving to drag the matter out even longer. Sometimes you have to wonder if the Corporation Counsel's attorneys would gamble with their own money the way they do with the taxpayers funds. In a cash strapped City like Hartford, we can hardly afford another huge settlement that comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers.

City of Hartford Motion to Vacate Nolan Decision

I guess the question is, who has final say with the question, "do we appeal or dont we?"

Does Corp Counsel acquiesce to the Department head (the Fire Chief) or vice versa? Does Corp Counsel tell the chief, we are appealing?

Who is making these very expensive decisions that are, without a doubt, going to cost the City a whole lot of money.

Please post the large monetary amount of cash Chief Nolan gets from the City of Hartford next year. I would like to know how much money Hartford has lost in lawsuits over the past 10 years. Please post wins and loses.
