Commissioner of Public Works Skip Scirocco was dealt another serious setback when his Truck Driver was found guilty of reckless disregard of the safety of others and ordered damages be paid to John Tighe, a former DPW driver himself who felt he was being targeted for retribution for his outspoken views in the city.
This was the third trip to court for Tighe who has now had his case heard by three separate judges and each time DPW has been found liable for damages.
The significance of this case is the precedence that is being set for citizens who have up to this point been hapless victims of reckless DPW drivers to seek monetary relief for damages for their vehicles and property where the City driver is grossly at fault. Up to this point Scirocco and DPW have simply refused to pay claims and that policy will hopefully be coming to an end.
Well done

Stick it to the bastards
Hey John,
Maybe Skip will give you a shot at driving a truck this winter. Afterall, he will be short on licensed drivers since they all have dwi's. Maybe even Bernstein could work there. Lew Benton will be a possibility as long as the trees at the park aren't in the way. Give Finneran a shovel and she can clean off those $220,000 steps at city hall.
This could cost the city big time.What DPW hits maybe 30 cars a year? and so far the insurance company just blows the people off.After this there be forced to pay up or for a really novel idea DPW might have to be careful
you cuntservative assclown, next time you get sick, do the country, the world and the human race a favor and just die
And Merry Christmas to you too.cuntservative ? That's a new one,is that what the DFC is calling itself these days?
Let's hope this leads to the demise of Scirroco. I think Yepsen would be a perfect fit to run for dpw. This way you run the strongest democrat against him. Put Franck against Johnson and away we go. What's with the assclown bit? Skippy the assclown! The assclown and the organ grinder.
