Under Settlement, Auditor Can Review Economic Development Records

dcogcadmin | January 28, 2010

In a resolution to the ongoing dispute between D.C. Auditor Deborah Nichols and Attorney General Peter Nickles, the two parties have agreed to a settlement that allows Nichols to review more than 1,000 boxes of records from two now-defunct economic development agencies.  Nichols had received a court order requiring the city to allow her to review the records of the Anacostia Waterfront Development Corporation and the National Capital Revitalization Corporation, but Nickles had appealed that order.  The settlement provides that Nichols can review the records, but must provide Nickles with a copy of any record which she wishes to use, and Nickles may object to its use.  D.C.
