Phil Olivia was the assistant manager of the Bradford Department of Public Works for years. In 1999, the supervisor retired and an outsider, Ken Hufford, was recommended for the position by the City Manager Bill Levitsky. "Phil Olivia was a good worker and knew what he was doing, but he was very much a working guy, not an administrator. It seemed to Emily that it was a pretty poor way for that loyalty to get treated, especially since there seemed to be little doubt that he could do the job."^HS10

Olivia addressed the Bradford City Council to explain why he didn't want the job at that time: "I don't want to get in the middle of a shoving match between the city manager and the council. I just want to get the job done. I know Ken and I can work with him."^HS10
