Tough talk from the mayor on school deficit
Published: November 16, 2007
SALEM - If there was any doubt that Mayor Kim Driscoll is considering some kind of legal action against former school Business Manager Bruce Guy, it was erased by a memo she sent to city councilors this week about the $1.8 million school deficit.
Guy's actions, she said in the three-page letter, constitute "more than inept behavior. Rather, these were intentional acts designed to mislead and cover up acts of wrongdoing. Thus, while we are fully focused on managing and resolving this fiscal dilemma, we will also be pursuing any and all steps necessary to seek recovery and retribution for the extent of the activities."
