Booted by a three-judge panel in October, ex-Mayor Roger Wolfe still admits no wrong doing. The judges found he improperly conducted city business by spending money without council approval. A long fight over Wofle raising the pay for his departments heads had left the city of eight thousand's government in gridlock. This week Wolfe showed Eyewitness News a city document that appeared to show $32, 000 in city money had been spent on his removal.
It turned out a clerk had incorrectly listed the money paid to attorney Mark Sadd's firm in a earlier case that stopped the pay changes.
Dunbar Council Members who brought the removal action paid for it with their own money.
Wolfe counters that the council could have gotten the same result for $145.00 in a friendly suit with the city attorney representing both sides.
