Reasons why Oakland Township's legal expense has doubled under Supervisor Gonser and the current Board
Analysis indicates increase due to unprecedented labor and litigation issues.
Since Supervisor Gonser and the new Board took office in 2012, the legal expense for our Township has doubled. Shortly after being elected, the Board changed law firms. In the 29 months that the new law firm has served the Township, our cumulative legal expense is at $513,000. The legal expense for 29 months under the previous Board was approximately $255,000. So in 29 months, we have spent $258,000 more than the previous Board.
An analysis was undertaken to determine the reasons for the increase. To learn more about the findings, please go to:
