Credit Card Scandal?
Recently there was a credit card scandal reported, one involving a former Development Office employee. We’ve received a copy of a document that is clearly in regards to a suit filed by the former employee regarding the work place, and her position there.

What I find the most interesting in this document is the intermingling of City departments, and how it all works. Clearly the presence of an employee of a different agency at the meeting, as is alleged in this document is a bit interesting.
Being new, and hopefully unjaded by the whole of city politics, I find this amazing. I cast no judgment about this issue, but I do feel it is significant. Mr. Morrissey and Ms. Fish are arguably two of the most powerful and influential people in city government. Clearly they do a great job, but it is fair to ask these questions.
I find it interesting that this information is coming out now, in this close proximity to the Mayoral race. Clearly there is some intent with this document getting to us in this time frame. As if to frame the city as some how out of control, and it all falls on the Mayors shoulders. I think that it is not the case. Clearly this is a document about Mike Morissey, and his own actions.
But you make your own determination. We thought it was significant.

Jim,
I saw that. I find the timing of this document making its way to us to be interesting. Though not on any meaningful scale.
I think the statement to the paper was an indication of bad blood again in the halls of our fair City Hall. I think this is a legal matter, and an ongoing case, he could have left it at that. He chose to make it something for the front page.
Morissey is a powerful man, and I think he should have been able to see where the breeze was going on this.
I like the idea that the local media is finally tearing into something, regardless of what it is. I think the real winner in this election is the readers.
Channel 9 has amazing stuff, as does Channel 7. They must have a young staff of really interesting people finally.
Young reporters like DJ and Rob are really doing good work at the WDH.
