Hi There. First off I am sorry if this is not the forum or way to have this answered but cannot find anything about it. My local city has hired a City Planner. His position was created after somebody anonymously has paid the yearly salary for this position. Is this legal? Could not one expect a "kickback" because of this? I just don't think the city should release a statement about his position and how he is being paid without anyone to object or know who the donor is.
