> The city attorney that approved the GE contract I do not understand making the city attorney the scapegoat. Here, this GE contract was entered into by the city because of an ordinance passed by the city council and signed into law by the mayor. The attorney's job in "approving" the contract is probably limited to reviewing it for form and making sure that its provisions are aligned with the city's interests and goals. The people to blame here are the city council and the mayor.
