The reasons behind the dismissal of Rolling Meadows City Manager Barry Krumstok aren't those alleged in his employment retaliation suit, one of the proponents of his firing said Wednesday.
"Certainly, something will come out in the near future that lets the public know the council made a decision based on sound judgment and not just emotion," Alderman Nick Budmats said the day after the council's 5-2 vote to fire the longtime city administrator. "In time, well-defined and thought-out reasons will be presented, and it will make sense when the whole picture (is presented)."
