Perez To Get Final Paycheck
    

      

	 



	The city will soon cut its last pay check to former Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez.  WNPR's Jeff Cohen reports.



	 



	Perez resigned on June 25 and is due pay for his last week in office -- the week between his conviction and his resignation. That money is payable this Friday.



	 



	After that, the city says Perez will no longer be on its payroll -- but he may still be eligible for a payout for unused sick and vacation time.  He's also entitled to health insurance through the end of the month.



	 



	The former mayor is also eligible for a city pension in a few years, but state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has said he will seek to revoke it following Perez's conviction.



	 



	Meanwhile, Perez's attorneys have filed paperwork asking for a new trial and that he be acquitted of all charges on which he was convicted.  The charges include bribery and extortion. 



	 



	For WNPR, I'm Jeff Cohen.
