Neal Meyer has done quite of bit of digging and uncovered some interesting details about a consultant Metro began using a couple of years ago…a consultant who goes way back with Metro CEO Frank “Procurement Disaster” Wilson:
Mr. Wilson stipulated in the contract he awarded to Mr. Russo that he would make $1 million over the first two years of his employment with Metro, at a rate of $300 per hour. The contract was amended this past April, where Mr. Wilson bumped up Russo’s pay by $10 per hour and increased the contract ceiling to $1.1 million. Mr. Russo’s employment can be extended beyond the inital period, but we will not know on what terms.
That’s just a small taste. Follow the link for more.
You know, this light rail business is almost incestuous.
