Running a city like Waterbury clearly keeps a mayor busy. In his nearly six years at the helm, Philip Giordano claims he accumulated 13 weeks of unused vacation time, 99 sick days and 27 personal days. In the past, he has calculated that the city owes him $61,000, and on Aug. 3, he filed suit to collect it.

Waterbury officials shudder at the thought of having to pay Giordano, a disbarred attorney serving 37 years in prison for having sex with two girls, ages 8 and 10. His lawsuit is “without merit and a waste of time, and he’s got a lot of nerve,” said state Sen. Sam S.F. Caligiuri, R-Waterbury, a former president of the city’s Board of Aldermen, as well as a partner at Day Pitney’s Hartford office.
