Norwich Officials' Kentucky Derby Trip Under Scrutiny: Report
Two members of the Norwich Public Utilities group and others attended the famous horse race in 2016 with utility funds.

NORWICH, CT — A controversial trip with utility funds by Norwich Public Utilities officials to last year's Kentucky Derby remains under scrutiny with the utility's governing board hiring legal counsel to probe the matter, reports The Day.
At issue is whether two NPU officials, General Manager John Bilda and Division Manager Steve Sinko should reimburse the city more than $31,000 combined for the cost of the trip for them and their spouses.
The city's Ethics Commission recently recommended that the two repay the city for the trips, though the utility did not have a specific policies on such travel at the time. Bilda and Sinko are proposing to institute new policies.
