Eric May
Former elected official Eric May provides readers a view on government they rarely get: one from the inside. Eric currently works for a political consulting firm handling all forms of political media and communications. He is married to his beautiful wife Jenna, who both enjoy serving actively in their church and community.
To be accurate the project is the current sewer project. It is either one project and the violation that occurred in 1999 is still in effect. Or it is 3 separate contracts in which case all 3 contracts are in violation.
I think the Attorney General is going to see this case one way or another.
