Duluth CAO: Outside Atty To Review Mayor’s Girlfriend’s Involvement In City Business
The city of Duluth’s chief administrative officer, David Montgomery, provided an update Monday night on the internal investigation involving Mayor Roger Reinert’s girlfriend and former campaign manager directly handling city business since he took office in January.
At Tuesday’s city council meeting, Montgomery said the internal review by the City Attorney’s Office has been completed.
But for full transparency purposes, he has asked for an independent consultant to review everything.
“I have complete confidence in the impartiality of the City Attorney’s Office and the attorneys in that office in their investigation. That being said, in an effort to be completely transparent, I directed the City Attorney’s Office to engage an independent attorney to conduct an outside investigation,” Montgomery told the council.
Michelle Soldo of Soldo Consulting Group is handling the independent investigation.
Montgomery said the final report will be made public.
