A Hartford police officer's claim that she was denied a position because she changed genders from male to female is before the state Appellate Court.
The city of Hartford is appealing a decision by Superior Court Judge Henry S. Cohn that allows the complaint by Lt. Dana Peterson to go forward. The judge overturned a finding by a state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities referee who said Peterson's bias claims should be dismissed.

On the basis of what has been written, we can only hope, for the sake of the entire department, that these people can run their departments according to the best interests of the objectives instead of seeking to maintain their power to irrelevantly discriminate.
