Mallory's bills 'troubling'

Mallory's bills 'troubling'
Mayor's brother asked to repay some money; he says no

As you read the article, keep in mind that the report was submitted by the CEC's own lawyers. They can't even buy a favorable opinion.

Lamont Taylor has stepped down from the board. Things could be coming apart at the seams over there. An interesting passage:

The board member who worked most closely with Mallory - meeting with him at least 84 times, according to an Enquirer review of Mallory's billing statements - was Chairman Len Garrett. He did not return calls seeking comment.

Board Treasurer Lamont Taylor resigned from the board Friday, saying Garrett "kept the board in the dark" about the contract.

Is the Len Garrett who met with Dale Mallory 84 times the same Len Garrett who said he had no idea what Dale Mallory was up to? Again, this is what Len said when he was still speaking with the media:

“Empowerment Corp. board member Len Garrett said he wasn't aware that Mallory was holding regular meetings with CityLink organizers. Garrett said Mallory's contract called for him to act as a liaison between the Empowerment Corp. and neighborhood community councils all over the city -- not to work on specific developments.

"If I had known he was working with CityLink and billing us, I would have stopped it," Garrett said.”

Len Garrett had the most oversight of Dale Mallory, and it appears that Garrett directed him the lawyers reported. Interesting that Dale Mallory is the one who got Len Garrett appointed.

People are starting to see the type of people that Mark Stecher and Crossroads Church were willing to go to bed with to push their agenda against the will of West End residents.
