Smarty Jones at the Mile Square View got this exclusive quote from Judy Tripodi on the Police Audit.....
"I did not have a draft copy of the report since the summer. I received a copy the same day as it was received by the mayor. I played no role in the writing, editing or release of the report.
I believed that I had the authority to approve the contracts, but have since been told that I do not. I have always acted in the best interests of the taxpayers of this City.
For the record, page 7 of the Police Audit states "While this report's recommendations may affect the staffing and City's fiscal obligation to the HPD, this report has no direct role in the contract negotiations."
