Totten testifying there was no member of the pension board laughing at Common Council or the taxpayer and he has no knowledge of anyone getting a disability pension because they didn't get along with their boss.
Totten says he believes Ferguson gave the impression the pension board was trying to deceive and that's why his allegations are defamatory. Totten does admit there was a communication breakdown between city staff and Common Council telling the court he was disheartened that trust was undermined.
Ferguson is currently the Town Manager of St. Stephen.
