Sgt. Kevin Houghton of the Hoboken Police Dept. filed a suit against the city in 2006 saying that he wasn’t promoted and that he was retaliated against because he had complained about various conditions in the department. It appears that the city has settled the case with Houghton, according to the most recent agenda for the state’s Civil Service Commission, which states among dozens of items: “Kevin Houghton, represented by Catherine Elston, Esq., and the City of Hoboken, represented by Sean Dias, Esq., seek acknowledgement of a settlement agreement between the parties.” (Agenda HERE).
We’ll post the amount of the settlement when we find out what it is!
