I'm no real estate expert but my understanding has always been that the person brokering the deal only gets paid after the deal has successfully completed. If the deal falls through, no one gets paid, which is incentive for the person in the middle to bust butt and make sure everything works out. Doesn't seem to be the case here.]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 08:38:55 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3911&PID=27725&title=06-072011-workbook#27725 06/072011 workbook : Under legislation, Item 4, we... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3911&PID=27700&title=06-072011-workbook#27700 Author: Mike_Presta

Under legislation, Item 4, we find a few transfers of money from under one shell…oops…I mean from one account to another.

On page 61 of 62 of the workbook, we find the explanation for one of these transfers:

The second item is in the General Fund – Economic Development. A transfer of $70,000 from Personal to “other” will enable the department to use money currently allocated for personnel to a short term contractual service being used to facilitate Cincinnati State negotiations and other economic.

One can only assume that this is Mr. Pratt’s fee for his work on we taxpayers’ behalf (LOL) with Cincinnati State.
