Next... What a pathetic excuse to explain his sordid behavior.. JJ Murphy had himself paid this outrageous amount ($300 per hour) because he was greedy and thought he could get away with it. Goal Consulting was a "front" to add a veneer of authenticity.
Does something seem strange here? There are NO Wilkes-Barre city hall personnel listed as references - just the police may not have been at arm’s length”
Hobbs, N.M. – October 22, 2016 -- The State Auditor's official findings align with my concerns.
In July, I filed a complaint with the State Auditor’s office asking for the probe into two contracts
championed by Hobbs’ City Manager, J.J. Murphy. These two contracts were awarded to the
Medico Consulting Group, LLC, a waste and recycling consultant, and Pennsylvania attorney Alan
Wohlstetter, a $475-per-hour-consultant retained for legal services related to the police
department’s video surveillance network.
After conducting a fact finding investigation, the office mailed a letter dated October 17, 2016 to
the City of Hobbs stating that these two contracts “were handled in a manner that raises
significant uncertainty as to whether the City received competitive prices. Additionally, the fact
that both firms are from Pennsylvania and have connections to the City Manager’s prior employer
raises the appearance that the contracts may not have been at arm’s length.”
What is this about?
