The New Haven Firefighter Case: Was He the Culprit ?

More than likely. -- Ed.

Three of the Supreme Court justices who voted against New Haven in Monday�s
landmark firefighters case ruling zeroed in on one character they saw playing
a nefarious role: the Rev. Boise Kimber (pictured right).

In fact, Kimber�s role as a New Haven politico, felon, and FOJ (Friend of
John, Mayor DeStefano) ended up sparking a lively debate between the Supreme
Court�s conservative and liberal wings.

This is the latest in a two-decade-long saga of how Kimber (pictured) has
caused political headaches for DeStefano while receiving repeated political
plums from the mayor, including a controversial �consulting� housing contract
that figured prominently in a 1998 City Hall corruption scandal.

DeStefano in turn has relied on the Newhallville preacher to carry his banner
in the black community in pivotal Democratic mayoral primaries dating back to
his 1989 contest against John Daniels and his 2001 race against Martin Looney.

At issue in Monday�s Supreme Court decision was whether Kimber is Exhibit A
for how crude racial politics trumped merit and fairness in the case of the
�New Haven 20.�

Kimber clearly made an impression on the court.

Justices Samuel Alito singled out Kimber in a concurring opinion to Ricci v.
DeStefano, the case in which a 5-4 majority ruled that New Haven can�t ignore
the results of a fire department promotional exam just because no
African-Americans scored high enough. (Read about that here.)

From the start, the New Haven 20 � the one Hispanic and 19 white firefighters
who sued to have the exams� results honored � argued that New Haven�s
DeStefano administration scuttled the test because of political pressure. And
they specifically mentioned Kimber in their lawsuit. Rev. Kimber, a prominent
vote-puller for Mayor DeStefano in past elections, sits on the Board of Fire
Commissioners. He played a vocal role at the Civil Service Commission in
arguing to have the test results ignored.
