L. Nathan Hare, the chief executive for one of the region's best-known human services agencies, was fired in October by board directors who felt he mishandled important financial matters. The directors then hired a forensic accountant to examine the books.
But Mayor Byron W. Brown and one of his confidants came to the rescue. Hare was back the next business day as the head of the Community Action Organization, a nonprofit planted squarely inside the mayor's political base.
Attorney Adam Perry of the Hodgson Russ law firm did more than return Hare to a job that paid him $112,000 a year in 2016, the most recent year in which his salary information was available.
Perry, the agency's lawyer, sent dismissal letters to some of the same directors who tried to fire the chief executive. At least four directors are now off the board.
