rumors flying, facts needed

WHAT contract would MDAC be talking about? I have heard it is just your normal everyday secret backroom handshake deal that the City Manager does regularly. The City Clerk knew of NO contract a couple months ago- wonder if one has miraculously popped up? No response yet either, to the FOI of 12/10/08 regarding revenues received from MDAC,MSSH, Reagan HS, and the middle schools. How many months does it usually take to get a TIMELY response to an FOI? Wonder if the State Attorney would say a month is enough time? It is rumored that Councilman Dotson wrote a scathing letter to the Mayor and Council about the way the recent Rec Director was hired. Anybody else hear that? Wonder if an FOI could get a copy of that letter, IF it exists? At the same time it might also be good to request a copy of the Optimist letter and any possible letters of resignation written in the past two weeks. Rumors are flying, but facts are needed. These requests will resolve some of the rumors quickly, if responded to in a TIMELY fashion. Lets see what happens.
