The Hawk Eye
The City of Burlington wants The Hawk Eye to pay nearly $700 for emails from City Manager Jim Ferneau and city councilman Matt Rinker.
Included in the invoice are $300 in fees from the city s attorney to review the emails before they can be forwarded to The Hawk Eye. The amount would need to be paid before we begin the retrieval process, Director of Adminstrative Services Stephanie Struecker told The Hawk Eye in an email with the invoice for the request.
Back in 2017, The Hawk Eye received emails surrounding Ferneau s departure and his relationship with former councilman Tim Scott. Those emails uncovered that Ferneau had been in conflict with Scott three times before Ferneau finally resigned.
