Use of Outside Legal Counsel
Letter Report | July 2005
SUMMARY
Wisconsin’s 16 technical college districts spent $8.2 million for outside legal services from FY 1999-2000 through FY 2003-04. Our letter recommends that Gateway Technical College immediately terminate an agreement to pay a former employee $120,000 annually for fewer than 80 hours of legal service per month and provide fringe benefits through January 2008.
