No arbitration decision yet in Debbie Troy case

NORWALK, Conn. – There are at least three more hearings expected – including one Friday – in the arbitration hearing process for a fired Norwalk assistant town clerk, Norwalk Personnel Director Emmet Hibson said.

Debbie Troy, who is accused of stealing money from the city, was fired a year ago. An arbitration hearing was held on April 24. The arbitration statute calls for a decision within 60 days and its “typically two or three weeks” for briefs to be submitted, Hibson said at the time. He said he expected a decision in 90 days.

On Tuesday, Hibson said in an email, “The arbitration is ongoing, I am not sure how many arbitration dates it will take to conclude the hearing.  At this point there are three that are currently scheduled (June 27^th, July 1^st, and July 10^th).”

Her criminal case has been continued yet again. A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for July 31, the 10^th time the case has been on the docket.
