City energy employee moonlighted for solar firm seeking contract
Original: City energy staffer also worked for solar company seeking contract with City Hall
A Richmond city energy employee simultaneously worked for a solar company pursuing a contract with City Hall, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. The disclosure raises questions about potential conflicts of interest in how the city awards energy contracts, and whether oversight procedures are adequate. It is not yet clear whether the employee's dual roles influenced any procurement decisions or whether an internal review will follow.
Why now: The conflict-of-interest allegation touches on public trust in city procurement and is likely prompting calls for review.
