NEW BRUNSWICK – The city will not fire a housing inspector who used a racial slur to describe a municipal attorney, according to mycentraljersey.com.

Ronald Bellafronte, who is white, has been given a June 5 return-to-work date. Bellafronte has been suspended without pay since March 5.

Bellafronte, who earns $40,400 a year, allegedly used the slur to describe Assistant City Attorney Charly Gayden, who is black.

City officials recommended firing Bellafronte, but his labor union thwarted those efforts, the report states.
