http://www.connpost.com/news/ci_4225337WATERBURY — A former mayor serving 37 years in prison on federal child sex charges claims the city owes him tens of thousands of dollars for vacation, sick and personal days he didn't have a chance to take before he was arrested five years ago.
The request is bold even for Waterbury, which has a storied political history that includes the arrests of three mayors, a state takeover of the city's finances and a native son serving 11 years as governor before being brought down by a corruption scandal.
Former Mayor Philip A. Giordano recently sent a letter to Mayor Michael J. Jarjura's special counsel demanding the city pay $61,000 for 13 weeks of vacation, 99 sick days and 27 personal days he accrued. A city official said Tuesday that won't happen.
The four-page letter from the Garner Correctional Facility in Newtown, first obtained by the Republican-American newspaper, claims that city mayors earn four weeks of vacation, 18 sick days and five personal days annually that, if unused, roll over from year to year and can be cashed out upon leaving office.
