Sexual harassment settlements
Dear Atlantic County,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I certify under penalty of NJSA 2C:28-3 that I have not been convicted of an indictable offense. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
The Terri Hiles sexual harassment settlement
The Shelly Imperatore sexual harassment settlement
Yours faithfully,
Jim Vuocolo
Dear Atlantic County,
You have not responded as required by law. Please explain the reason for the delay and the date on which the request will be fulfilled.
Yours faithfully,
Jim Vuocolo
Dear Atlantic County,
These settlements were not paid by Atlantic County's insurance provider, and the Atlantic County employees were given letters, asking them whether or not they'd like to testify in the Hiles and Imperatore sexual harassment suits. How did Atlantic County send a mass notification out discussing these two cases, and how did they settle them, if they don't exist?
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Jim Vuocolo
