SALZMAN SHOPPED AGAIN

Redington Goes Attorney Shopping

On November 18th, Redington Beach town commissioners passed a motion to request proposals for attorney services. City officials expressed no lack of confidence with the current guy in the seat but felt it to be good business to send out for a bid now and then.


Guess who their current attorney is...former IRB City Attorney Andy Salzman.

One Redington Beach Commissioner indicated that they had budgeted $50,000 for legal services and spent $53,000. Compare that with IRB recently amending last year’s budget to increase the legal fees line item by $34,000. Our BUDGET INCREASE in legal fees for the prior year was over 30% of Redington's TOTAL LEGAL BUDGET! Will IRB overshoot this year’s projected budget for legal fees as well?



Does anyone in IRB have advice for Redington Beach's Town Commission as they evaluate proposals for an attorney?
