I wonder how much of it Ficano gets?

And her attorney was awarded $98,500, but not the $394,175 that was requested.
Thanks Again Bob!
Don't blame the justice system for failings of the legislators who allow our administrators to sign these ridiculous contracts. I don't know the legal details, but I would suspect that the court is simply saying that the payment was legal. That doesn't make it appropriate. Its not their job to judge what is appropriate or fair. Just what's legal and just.
CKLW jingle; and the cash just keeps on rollin'.....
The arbitrator, Paul Teranes.....isn't he blind? [[Not being flippant; a sincere question.)
Really, the attorney who drafted this contract and the people who approved it are at fault. All contracts statewide should be immediately reviewed and amended if necessary so this doesn't happen again. The contract is always construed against the drafter.
Disgusting, just sick.
^^^ Yep. And in this case they are not even representing the republican elite!
That is totally pitiful. That crook got away with 750k without pulling a trigger or running a scam. Mullin has robbed the folks of Wayne County taxpayers and Metro-Airport like a thief in the night.
And it just keeps getting better and better...
18 months later, perk Ficano said he'd end is still costing Wayne County

*sigh*
Actually, it is private money. The airport authority is funded primarily by landing and gate fees. Tax money isn't involved.
It is a quasi-public entity, but the money involved in paying the salary is not.
Here you go Ray...Whaler

Am I connecting the dots correctly? The way I see it is that as Kwame = DWSD, then Ficano = Airport.
Both arranged for vastly-overpaid sycophants that they could manipulate to run those areas: Kwame & Victor Mercado and Ficano & Turkia Mullin.
Kwame then used Mercado to bid rig over-priced contracts for Bobbie Ferguson to set up the kickbacks. Seems a natural extension that Ficano would then use Mullin to get kickbacks from contractors and then do a little wealth redistribution to Ficano and the other insiders.
Is this what political “service” now looks like today?
This “pay to play” scheme has been repeated in Chicago and New York, so we are not alone.
Cannot wait for the rest of the FBI probe.
Karmic justice will have Turkia spending all that money on defense attorneys and leave her broke. One can only hope.
And now I hear that greedy _itch is going to try to recover the $200,000 severance pay they took away as well.
