Committee member's estimate of legal costs appears to be too high PDF Print E-mail
Written by Bob Sprague   
Saturday, 05 April 2008
At the March 27 Candidates' Night, School Committee member Joseph Curran said he estimated legal expenses driven by the Coughlin-Bouris case were "close to $300,000." But the latest figures for legal fees appear to show that Curran's estimate is too high. The amount spent for such fees through February -- the latest figures available -- show a total of $212,775 spent for all legal work. The amount related to the Coughlin-Bouris case is most of that total, or $206,060.
