Stop the hiring of John Keenan, Jr

Stop the hiring of John Keenan, Jr

The Issue

On November 10th, the Borough of Stratford announced the (temporary) hiring of the mayor's son, John Keenan, Jr as Business Administrator.

Blatant nepotism aside, this is a clear disregard for the fact that he has a history of sexual misconduct in the workplace while employed as Borough Clerk by the town from at least 1997 through 2016, according to case documents from the settlement the town quietly paid to cover this up. Not only did this cost the victim his job, but Keenan, Jr retained his taxpayer-funded pension and benefits while no disciplinary action was taken regarding his predatory behavior. 

We demand the Borough of Stratford to stop the hiring of John Keenan, Jr and to implement a meaningful policy against sexual misconduct, because according to the case documents there is none.
