D.C. Council Seeks Answers on Contracting

dcogcadmin | November 5, 2009

The Washington Times offered a review of the recent history of the failure to share information between the executive and legislative branches of the District government.  The article notes that the D.C. Council will convene another hearing today on the parks and recreation contracts that bypassed Council review by being funneled through the D.C. Housing Authority, and that the city’s attorney general has been refusing to turn over economic development records to Auditor Deborah Nichols.  Nichols has prevailed in court, receiving two orders requiring the records to be disclosed, but the city has appealed.  Washington Times
