Carter alleges city is rife with âgood olâ boy networkingâÂ
Former director of Manchester Public Works Department Brent Carter has released a statement concerning his $250,000 settlement of a lawsuit concerning his demotion from the longtime position with the city.
The settlement is dated March 30, 2021. His statement was released Monday.
