Amsterdam Aldermen Should Have Refused To Pay For Sexual Harassment Investigation.

William Wills was the only alderman in the City of Amsterdam who had the sense to vote against paying the $16,444 bill the city received for an independent investigation of sexual harassment claims against Police Chief Tom Brownell. Not only was the bill $12,000 higher than the original estimate, the report has been kept secret. Even the aldermen have not been allowed to see it. Wills is absolutely right in refusing to pay for what he hasn’t even seen.
