Report: Former Police Chief Gallo Received $95,000 Retirement Payout

East Haven Police Chief Leonard Gallo topped the list of the town's recent retirement account payouts, according to a New Haven Register report.

When stepped down from his post the was in question. That no longer is the case.

Gallo received a payout of some $95,000 when he officially retired on Feb. 3, according to a New Haven Register report.

Gallo was one of the 19 former town employees that retired during the 2011-12 fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.

The retirement payments from the lump sum, salary and other accounts — which are in addition to the employees' annual pensions — totaled more than $683,000, according to town's 2011-12 retirement account ledger.

The Register's Jennifer Swift obtained and published the ledger through a Freedom of Information request.

The document, which contains the payout information for all town employees who retired last year, is available for download from the newspaper's website.

As you can see from Robert Hoffs post Jack and his wife Sue have an impressive record of publc andRead More community service to this town. This is paramont in my decision to suppot him. Mr. DePalma, as far as I can see, has contributed very little, if any, to the betterment of this wonderful town. Come shake his hand at of the community outreach events being held at various locations in town starting June 6th @ the beachhouse and you will understand why I support our next Mayor.

I agree Jack is a good man. He however needs to better explain his financial problems. ForeclosureRead More doesn't go forward due to a mistake. Stand up and tell the truth. If you fell behind and got back on track tell us.

I asked the question and you gave me the answer I was looking for, and I thank you for that. As toRead More the rest of your dribble, doesn't deserve a response for EVERYONR knows all about the true Gene aka ******** Ruocco.

Richard, the Mayor kicked the CEO of the company that had the contract out of his office less than aRead More month after he won the election. The contract was with the town not the BOE. And if you think the only thing to check is if the panels are dirty, then it isn't worth answering you. A large investment of tax dollars was made and it is paying off with lower electric bills. The systems delivering these savings need to be checked, that is why people who were smart enough to sign a maintenance agreement did just that. Ask the BOE how the chiller replacement is going at the High School; due to lack of maintenance they lost two chillers that should have lasted at least 10 to 15 more years. Penny wise and dollar foolish is what this is all about, not the election year, but what else could we expect from you Richard. You have become the cheer leader of the administration.

Boy, you just know it's an election year. Gene, one question, when was this contract stopped?Read More Just now or some time ago, but seeing its getting "close' to November you just thought you would bring this up. Besides, shouldn't your question be aimed at the B of E, not the Mayor. And what is to be maintained anyway beside washing the panals now and then? You just keep us all informed now Gene.
