Mocciae: ‘$60,000, how much did he make?… It’s ludicrous’
“Professionalized restructuring of City Hall” helped uncover alleged forgery by part-time employee William Howard, Mayor Harry Rilling said in a press release last week. Former Recreation and Parks Department Director Mike Mocciae said Saturday that the “many layers of bureaucracy” aren’t serving the city well.

NORWALK, Conn. William Howard, a sporting goods supplier who was arrested last week, created fake bids to make it appear that he had competition, and provided the fraudulent documents to then-Recs and Parks Athletic Director Gerald Anastasia, thereby coming in as the low bidder for City contracts, Norwalk Police say.
