Town Firing Of Inspector Questioned By Former Solicitor
Former Town Solicitor Anthony Berretto questions Augistine Nunes firing of Building Inspector Thomas Borromeo claiming grounds may be improper under charter and new state law. Borromeo’s bid for a temporary restraining order to reinstate him was denied by Superior Court Judge Ronald Lagueux. Berretto notes the firing may violate due process and suggests the inspector serves at the administrator’s pleasure. Borromeo plans to appeal to the personnel board and, if needed, pursue further court action.
