Denver may fork over $850,000 in cookbook firing

November 7, 2008

Denver is on the verge of paying $850,000 to settle a lawsuit accusing the city of age discrimination in a case involving a firefighter who claimed he was wrongly terminated.

Bill Cadorna, who had been a firefighter for nearly 30 years, was fired over a dispute involving a missing Junior League of Denver cookbook.

He was falsely accused of shoplifting the cookbook in 2002. Later, it was revealed that a clerk gave him permission to borrow the cookbook until the one he had misplaced in the store was found.

The criminal charges were dropped, but the city of Denver refused to give him his job back because it claimed a state law says a firefighter who is over 50 and is declared eligible for disability retirement may not be re-examined for service.
