The Town of Oak Bluffs here on the Vineyard is in the news again. The Town Counsel and a special labor lawyer have issued a letter condemning some of the personnel practices of the former Town Administrator.
The administrator apparently loved personal service contracts. So, supposedly on behalf of the Town, she signed a number of them; in fact, she signed so many that no other town in the state has more personal service contracts with their employees. The lawyers says she did not have the authority to do so.
Nor did the administrator have the authority to award the bonuses the Town paid to some employees. Nor did she have the right to have the Town pay different portions of health insurance for different employees.
By the way, the administrator is a lawyer. She is also a candidate for Selectman. Will she withdraw from the race?
