According to a Hartford City Hall whistleblower, the President of the Hartford Municipal Employees Association, (HMEA) has been removed after action was taken by the Unions Board of Directors. Sean Antoine, the HMEA Union President was removed after allegations of misuse of the Unions Debit Card were brought to light by another Union Member. Allegations were that over a thousand dollars were made by Antoine during a trip to Dubai. Since that revelation, other allegations have been made that Antoine may have forged the Union Treasurers signature on checks. That allegation is currently under investigation.
Antoine was also employed by the City of Hartford in the City Treasurers Office. According to an e-mail obtained by "WE THE PEOPLE", Antoine was placed on Administrative leave from City employment as of August 23rd. Subsequently, Antoine submitted his resignation/retirement effective as of August 26, 2024.
According to the e-mail obtained, City Treasurer Carmen Sierra is expected to use an outside Auditor to conduct a review of Antoine's activities while employed in the Treasurers Office.
It is unclear at this point if Antoine's actions will be referred to the Hartford Police Department regarding the alleged Union financial improprieties
Yes, it’s police matter. If Noel Gregor have the city arrested and charged an employee for retention where there were no policies and no money was missing.
ReplyDeleteA senior auditor is the union treasurer; this should look at seriously and not push under the rug. The new mayor have work cut out for him.
Has there been any movement in this ?? Or is City Hall trying to bury this?
