EVERETT, MASS. (WHDH) – Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria is battling to keep controversial bonuses he received while in office.
DeMaria asked a judge to clarify the terms of his contract and a city ordinance.
In February the state inspector general determined DeMaria was improperly paid $180,000.
The investigation found that the mayor and his aides misapplied the mayoral longevity ordinance and hid the payments from the city council and the public.
DeMaria’s lawyer requested a court ruling to support the mayor’s interpretation of the ordinance.
