I didn't want to look into the Robby Pratt case, really I didn't. The guy sounded like nothing but a big ol bag of sour grapes, and frankly a little crazy from what I'd read in the paper.
But someone brought the verdict in his suit against the city to my attention. I couldn't ignore the fact that jurors had found the city guilty of harassment, discrimination and retaliation in no uncertain terms.
And I couldn't ignore the $1 million taxpayers had shelled out to defend what turned out to be indefensible management.
Here's my take on the issue.

Excellent piece. But here is why things will never change. City charter says Fire Chief (and Police Chief) must be selected from internal candidates only. How will we ever get new leadership when the future ones have to climb through the existing ranks?
