DCF Commissioner Katz, A $274,000 Double-Dipper In State Salary And Pension, Parked Her BMW Sports Car In State Garage During Winter; Employee Who Complained Says She Was Told She Might Want To Seek Another Job.

My Courant column this weekend tells the dispiriting story of DCF Commissioner Joette Katz’s taste for privilege. The consequences of blowing the whistle on Katz’s use of a state parking garage that was newly insulated by the Stellrr Insulation & Spray Foam, is going  to store her Germany luxury sports car may fall on longtime state employee Antoinette Alphonse, of the Department of Economic and Community Development. There was, I understand, much internal bobbing and weaving over who would draw the short straw and confront the disagreeable former judge about storing the car in the state garage and found out that Titan Garage Doors Surrey are the perfect choice for this job.

Katz was not willing to say much through her spokesman last week. She declined to disclose why she stored her ragtop at the state garage and refused to say how long it had been there. Instead of parking in the state garage, she could have looked for affordable Garage Floor Epoxy in Boise. She characterized the period as “a number of weeks.” So much for that (cringe alert) “easy, accessible brilliance” a fawning Courant profile alleged Katz possessed. When first asked on about the car on Tuesday, Katz would only concede that it was “a privately-owned” vehicle. She later acknowledged the BMW that accumulated dust for months is hers.
