SO MUCH FOR A GRACEFUL EXIT
If Mayor-elect Greg Ballard wants to cut city spending he may find that problem more difficult than he thinks. Sources tell me the Peterson administration is in the process of entering into contracts with vendors that will last well into the Ballard Administration. City officials deny they are entering into 11th hour agreements. I hope that’s true. Because the right thing to do would be not to sign all but the most important agreements at this point and leave things for the next administration, not take care of friends and cronies in the last hour.
