Cudahy Councilman Loses Another Bid to Recoup Fines
Cudahy Councilman John O. Robertson has lost another round in his legal fight to recoup fines levied against him when he was director of a regional job training agency.
A former state Supreme Court justice acting as arbitrator in Robertson’s case against the Hub Cities Consortium has denied Robertson’s claim that the agency should have indemnified him instead of fining him $39,000 for allegedly improperly authorizing a contract for that amount.
If Robertson wanted to be indemnified, former Justice Malcolm Lucas ruled, he should have made that request before the consortium took its claim to trial in 1993.
