BRIDGEPORT — The municipal attorney who pursues delinquent sewer use bills is taking on City Council members over inflammatory comments made about his being Jewish. Russell Liskov has accused eight council members of “religious discrimination and blatant anti-Semitism” in a complaint to the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO). And he is threatening to sue Councilwoman Eneida Martinez for libel and slander unless she publicly retracts comments made about him at a December meeting. Liskov’s actions come as the council continues to pressure Bridgeport’s law department to amend what critics say is a too punitive sewer fee collection process overseen by Liskov, with help from private attorney Juda Epstein.
