HARTFORD, Conn. — Dozens of pages of new details became public Monday about the strange standoff between the state Judicial Branch and Superior Court Judge Alice Bruno, who has collected more than $350,000 in salary while missing nearly two-and-one-half years of work for what she describes as health-related reasons.
Bruno prepared the information herself in an unusual — and very long — affidavit in which she alleges the state Judicial Branch has exacerbated her health problems by creating a “stressful work environment related to the hostility toward my medical conditions and appointments.”
The judiciary has not responded to Bruno’s granular recitation of what she recounts as years of snubs and rebuffs to her demand for an “accommodation” that would allow her to work at a location “reasonably” close to her home in New Britain and in a setting that provides “a supportive, not hostile, work environment.”
