CITY LOSES APPEAL TO ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT - CITY ATTORNEY MADE SERIOUS MISTAKES THAT COST THE CITY $10,000

 
LR CITY ATTORNEY TOM CARPENTER RACKS UP ANOTHER LOSS

The Arkansas Supreme Court today affirmed a Pulaski County Circuit Courts finding that the city of Little Rock was in contempt of court for failing to timely pay a $10,000 penalty for its delays in defending a gender discrimination case.


We previously discussed this case in these posts: 



http://badlittlerock.blogspot.com/2016/11/little-rock-city-attorney-tom-carpenter.html

Circuit Judge Tim Fox had held that the city should pay $10,000 for inexcusable delays in responding to Tiffany Malone's gender discrimination complaint against the police department. Fox ordered the penalty paid in 10 days, which the city didn't do. The city was trying to appeal the penalty. Fox found the city in contempt for failure to pay, but said it could be cured by City Attorney Tom Carpenter attending education courses on law office management. The city appealed both the penalty and the contempt finding.

PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE TIM FOX

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on the penalty as moot because the city ultimately paid it voluntarily. 

 

It also said as to the remaining issue that it was indisputable that the city didn't pay on time. It lost any attempt to justify that by challenging the legality of the penalty order when it voluntarily paid the fine. That precludes a review of the order, the court said.



The City of Little Rock is in crisis, failed public school system under state control; crime so bad that more than half of the city's police officers refuse to live in the city; a racially divided Board of Directors that can't get anything done other that take trips on the tax payers dime and issue proclamations; a Mayor, City Manager and city attorney that have stayed in those positions way too long and need to be replaced.

This case and the false and defaming information city attorney Tom Carpenter passed on to Bruce Moore (and the rest of the world) about the Reverend Benny Johnson is proof enough that Carpenter needs to be fired before he does more damage.





The citizens of Little Rock are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore.
