Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss Suit Against Herbst
A construction management company owner claims Herbst has a vendetta. Herbst said what the owner was doing was a potential ethics breach.
A judge denied a motion to dismiss a case where First Selectman Tim Herbst was sued by a construction management company owner that claims he has a vendetta against him.
Gov. Dannel Malloy ally Alphonso Barbarotta brought the lawsuit against Herbst, claiming that he blocked a $100,000 contract to expand Trumbull Loves Children Inc. Daniels Farm campus, according to the Stamford Advocate.
