Itemized List of Town Attorney Fees

We paid roughly $50 for copies of the itemized bills from the Town Attorney from January 2007 to June 2008. Prior to May 2007, Chairman Norma Wells and Councilor Mike Bowie had no communications with the Town Attorney. But starting in May 2007, Mike Bowie and Norma Wells began having conversations with the Town Attorney. We included all of their interactions. We also included most of the interactions that David Brooks and Steve Eldridge had with the Town Attorney and all "blacked out" items. This list is not all inclusive as we decided to leave out the "routine" charges. (MET) is Michael E. Therriault who charges $135/hour as opposed to Roger Therriault who charges $150/hour.

Total Attorney Fees For FY 07-08: $33,979.16 (12 months)
Total Attorney Fees For Jan-Jun 07: $10,792 (6 months)
