A Superior Court judge questioned new East Greenwich Town Manager Gayle Corrigan Friday about the circumstances surrounding her hiring and her decision to fire a firefighter because he lacked paperwork showing he was certified. Judge Susan E. McGuirl asked Corrigan if she knew the Town Council planned to name her acting town manager before the council made the move in executive session June 19. Corrigan had been working as a consultant for the council for several months prior conducting financial analyses of the schools and the town. ?[Town Council President Suzanne Cienki] said if it’s available and she offered it to me would I take it,” Corrigan said as she and McGuirl sat face to face at the bench. Cienki was concerned about an emergency management director being in place, if the council let then-Town Manager Thomas Coyle go, she said.
