As I stated back when this happened this will cost the taxpayers plenty. Get that checkbook ready!!
Then we can wait for the legal outcome from the fight in the chiefs office between the captain and the union head. Keep the check book out. Etc etc.
And the attorneys office recommends the settlement and only lists more than $20,000. Lol. What’s the number????
It’s more ……. A lot more!!!!! Cheers!!!!
Who dropped ball, was it Janene Hawkins the Director of Labor Relation, or the City’s Personnel Director, David Dunn, the entire City’s Attorney Office or did they all have a hand in this very costly failure that the taxpayers must pay out because of the incompetency of city officials. Will someone pay a price for this failure?
Narduzzi reduced police overtime by $3.7 in just one year which represents a significant savings in the short term, but the savings longterm in pension obligations would be significantly greater.
In most reputable municipalities this notable accomplishment would be worthy of a promotion not termination.
We now have Chief Perez who has repeatedly demonstrated he is incapable of being fiscally responsible with the BPD Budget as evidenced by the exploding and unchecked OT Budget.
Incompetence is consistently rewarded and competence gets you terminated.
Many Bridgeport high level employees are allowed to fail up instead of being demoted or terminated.
It can only happen in BPT . Get fired for doing your job. What a joke. The Union us good and the UNION IS BAD….. Bits history proves that the union has always been bad. How many companies left??? The Union wants wants and wants more
We all know how good management and owners look out for their workers, safe working conditions, health insurance, retirement benefits, a honest day work for a honest day pay. Yeah, who needs unions when owners are so good to workers.
I just want to be clear that I am pro-labor/union.
The job of any worthwhile union leader is to fight for their members. If they are not representing their members they should be ousted at the ballot box.
Ultimately the union had no authority to terminate Nardozzi. Only Mayor Ganim had sole authority to terminate him, and he did. He didn’t have to succumb to the BPD union leadership’s lobbying to terminate Nardozzi.
If Nardozzi was successfully fulfilling the directives given by Chief Gaudett and Mayor Finch, and Ganim wanted Nardozzi to go in a different direction he should have sat him down and explained his concerns and given Nardozzi the opportunity to implement his priorities and vision.
No one that is clearly competent and accomplishing good work on behalf of residents and TAXPAYERS should be terminated as part of a quid pro quo AKA we will back you for Mayor and in turn you have to get rid of Chief Gaudett and Nardozzi.
A classic Joe/Mario move,do ANYTHING to get elected.Obviously,Nardozzi gets fired because the union wasn’t happy with him cutting OT.Joe,doing whatever it takes to win the police union favor going into the election,fires him soon after he wins..Then fast forward a couple years to Joe’s “nationwide search” for a police chief.That dog &pony show went on for awhile for no other reason than to try to convince “the idiot taxpayers of BPT” that he was looking for the best candidate.All the while,Perez was a shoe in for the job.The same AJ who loaded Joe’s stolen wine into the trunk,the same AJ who knows alot of “secrets”.There was never any doubt he would chosen Chief…Fast foward to 2019,our city’s police force is in chaos,moral is at an all time low,most of the inner city don’t trust the police etc. Nice job Joe!…I hope Nardozzi gets a huge settlement,he was screwed.
number two top copcut overtime

Ron…someone will – the taxpayers! but no city official will be held responsible

By the way, that is completely illegal.
