Report: Fired ACHA Executive Director Will Be Paid For Four Months

The firing of the executive director of the Atlantic City Housing Authority may not be final for 120 days, but he is being prevented from working during that period, he said Friday. The Press of Atlantic City reports Matt Doherty was terminated in a 4 to 1 board vote Thursday night, after just four months on the job trying to turn around an agency that has been unable to provide basics such as heat and hot water to many residents. Essentially, the authority rated as financially “troubled” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will be paying him more than $50,000 to stay home for a third of a year. That is based on a $160,000 annual salary.
