Video: Mayor Pavia: "I'm Looking At a Crisis of Management" [Update with Clarification]

[Editor's Note: This article has been updated to correct the length of Orgera's suspension.]

Earlier today, Mayor Michael Pavia explained his decision to suspend Director of Operations Ernie Orgera, also suggesting that bad management has become an issue within the Department of Operations, but it would not be tolerated.

"When we learned about the scrap metal situation, we immediately put a stop to it," Pavia said. 

Pavia announced Orgera's suspension as a Dept. of Operations official with an op-ed piece that was sent to the Stamford Advocate.

"I believe that three [weeks] suspension, without pay, was an adequate recognition of a failure of management."

Pavia stated that because Orgera did not commit a crime, his failures were punishable, but they were not grounds for termination.

"We need to figure out how we're going to tighten up on management, and the quality of management throughout all operations," Pavia said.
