The Henrici mileage log runaround

The Hamden Daily News has (sadly) closed up shop, but Sharon Bass is still investigating the shenanigans of the Henrici Administration. Her latest investigation involves the mileage logs of Mayor Henrici and Tax Assessor Jim Clynes. As Sharon had reported in the Daily News, Henrici would have to drive 1,200 miles of office-related mileage (which does not include to and from work, mind you) at the Federally-mandated reimbursement rate of $.41 per mile in order to equal the $570 car allowance he attempted to push through Council in the last budget (he also tried to get $270 for Clynes, but failed on both counts).

In the interest of following up to see how much Henrici and Clynes were getting reimbursed on in July and August, Bass sent a Freedom of Information Act request to Town Attorney Sue Gruen in September. Since then, she’s been given the runaround by Gruen and still has not gotten the mileage log for either gentleman or reimbursement amounts they were given for the months in question.
