Goode Pays City For Controversial Aide's Time
Latrice Bryant, City Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr.'s controversial chief legislative aide, is now square with the city for time she spent attending to personal errands while logged in as working at City Hall. Bryant can thank her boss, who delivered a personal check this afternoon to City Controller Alan Butkovitz for $836.35.
Latrice Bryant, City Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr.'s controversial chief legislative aide, is now square with the city for time she spent attending to personal errands while logged in as working at City Hall. Bryant can thank her boss, who delivered a personal check this afternoon to City Controller Alan Butkovitz for $836.35.
Butkovitz tallied Bryant's tab using a Fox 29 News report on her activities this summer. Goode, acknowledging that there had been problems with how his staff logged their hours, promised Butkovitz in an Oct. 1 e-mail that he would pay for Bryant if she didn't take action on the matter by today. Fox 29, of course, also reported this.
"The whole point of this is nobody's above the law or these time constraints," said Butkovitz, adding that his office has been telling City Council for two decades that it should tighten up its procedures for logging employee work hours.
