Bridgeport Supreme Court Rules City Must Pay Ripper Salaries

The Supreme Court upholds that the 1925 Ripper act overrode city charter provisions, blocking the 1925 July ordinance lowering salaries. It holds the council lacked authority to cut the salaries of Assessor Connolly and Gill, and that taxation power includes preventing salary reductions that would derail the act’s aims. The decision centers on constitutional limits on local self government and legislative control of salaries.
