[RP TownTalk] F.Y. I. to RP residents - (WJLA) news article re: Lawsuits against Riverdale Park

[andre]

Looks like that clears things up.  Perhaps the finger pointing and whining can stop now and we can focus on more positive developments in our town.

I can only respond to this by saying that on May 18 an e-mail message starting with the following content was sent to all members of the Council by the Town Manager.  I have no idea why CM Henry did not receive it. 
Good Afternoon Mr. Mayor and Council, As you are aware, the Town has been defending a lawsuit filed by Mr. Ashkar from Greg’s Towing based on allegations that date back to 2013.  The original filing included a number of allegations. The sole surviving allegation in the complaint, Failure to Hire / Discrimination based on National Origin, was decided this morning by a jury.  The jury found in favor of the Plaintiff and awarded $269,244.00 to the Plaintiff.

I spoke to my husband...CM Henry states you are     Lying, he was not informed as you stated.

I have responded to CM Henry off-list.  All members of the council were informed of the decision, and I told him that I did not know who was informed when the lawsuit was filed in 2016, as Mayor Archer was handling that.
Sincerely, 
Alan

Mayor Alan, What legal team?  That’s a generic response. The fact remain - the news is out in the media and residents should have been made aware of both lawsuits, yet we had to hear from a indirect source. What we have here is a failure to communicate.
By the way, have all Council members been made aware of  the lawsuits before and after?

The Town's legal team has asked that we not discuss this case, both during the case and until all post-trial motions and resulting rulings are completed.  I am hopeful (but far from sure) that we can discuss this within a few weeks.
Sincerely,
Alan

 Mr. Mayor,     
   - Would this action be considered a benefit to the change in Mayor and gov't structure?
   - What is going on in this Town!?
   - As the Mayor, I am sure you were aware, while residents were kept in the dark.  This action should have been included in "somebody's" report to inform the residents.
   - Who pays for this?
