Why are the city taxpayers required to pay a secret amount to ex-City Manager Lee Ann Dumbauld? The City Council is treating the taxpayers as children by implying the taxpayers should do as they are told without regard to the exact settlement amount paid to Ms. Dumbauld.
Is there something wrong with this deal? Secrecy leads to mistrust, and obviously we already have enough trust issues with the City Council.
Tell the taxpayers, who are paying for the City Council’s decisions, the exact amount we (the city) owe.
