In 2015, city manager Ed Meece did something he never thought he would do. He canceled his International City/County Management Association membership twenty-five years after joining the organization.

What happened?

Baker Tilly has been bad -- again.

Recently, yours truly dropped a bombshell about Baker Tilly when he appeared as a guest on the Making Sense with Michael J. talk show in Amarillo, Texas.

We discussed the Amarillo city manager recruitment and the consulting contract Baker Tilly landed to help review their charter.

Host Michael Stevens graciously allowed me to replay the interview on the podcast.

Since the interview aired on May 20th, sources have been feeding me additional information about Baker Tilly and its recruitments. Stay tuned for more coverage in the near future -- especially after I get my public information requests.

If you have any information worth sharing -- please get in touch with me so I can expose them.

SHOW NOTES:

Michael J. Stevens is the host of the "Making Sense with Michael J" show on KGNC AM 710 and 97.5 FM radio in Amarillo. You can listen to their live stream here.

You can find Michael on LinkedIn here.

The American Association of Municipal Executives is located at AAME.org.
