Brookfield Must Pay Registrar's Legal Fees, Judge Rules: Report

BROOKFIELD, CT — The Town of Brookfield must pay legal fees incurred by former Republican Registrar of Voters Tom Dunkerton incurred during a lawsuit, reports The News Times.

Judge Anthony Truglia ruled that the town must reimburse former Dunkerton's legal fees incurred during a suit over a Brookfield resident who was kicked out of the Republican Party.

Truglia dismissed the town's objection to Dunkerton's request for reimbursement and ruled that the former registrar was acting in his capacity as a town employee.

The town had argued that Dunkerton was acting as a party official in the case, and not as a town employee.
