Excellent comments. The City Solicitor is supposed to review all city
contracts. This is just the latest one we know about that clearly wasn't
reviewed or at least competently reviewed. As a recruiter I can attest to
the usual caps on relocation. How many other city contracts escape proper
review? When will they bite Newport taxpayers? American Shipyard is one that
comes to mind. The open ended use of outside accountants to help the city
with its audits is another.
