A simple transfer of general funds to the city attorney’s office would be too transparent.

The taxpayer better insist on how this money is being spent.

Keating will not produce the bills revealing the cost of her defense much less the settlement that was reached in her case.

Perhaps, she can convince the Council to make available the billing from the following law firms.

Crabtree, Schmidt, Zeff, and Jacobs

Liebert, Cassidy, and Whitmore

Myers nave

            The law firm of former interim City Attorney Rudnansky who is now working on the water rate problem.

 The City needs the money for a trial that will begin in November.

The Council refused to settle……They will lose the case and our money
