Projet use of private consultants is queried
Linda Gyulai digs into Projet Montréal’s use of private consultants for projects in various parts of town. Is the practice against the rules? A spokesperson says “We follow the municipal affairs department rules to the letter” but there seems at least to be some lack of transparency about how the money is being spent.

Well the good news is we just found a great way to save the city a whole bunch of money.

If you consider 110k “a whole bunch of money”.

…that we are hearing about. If they’re crooked about this, you know there’s other things.

Is it crooked, or is it just laziness? (See also the two BIG stories I posted later Monday.) I don’t see much sign Projet is profiting. This isn’t a “Monsieur 3%” situation, it’s more conceptual, but it still doesn’t help if it means public money’s being frittered without much if any benefit to the taxpayer.
