Did you, as the reader, pick up on how not only is he getting the City's health insurance but other insurance policies and plans offered by the City? Anyone out there with knowledge as to what all "plans" and insurance programs he may have benefited from? (Maybe we should say still benefiting from.)
Also, $50,000 per year and ten hours per week at $150.00 per hour without submitting billable hours?
Sweetheart of a deal. If the rumors are true and the Democrats are putting up Mr. Gibson to run for County Prosecutor we assume this may be the reason why such lucrative contracts.
There will be another posting next week reflecting the latest Agreements for Mr. Gibson authorized by Mayor Gahan.
