Wasteful expenditure? Maybe

     The Town Manager reported that several of the Town air conditioning units have leaks.  He is bringing in a contractor to fix them.  Publius has learned that these units are fairly new.  It's reasonable to ask the question, "Has he contacted the original contractor to determine whether these leaks are covered by a warranty?"  Dean has built himself a reputation of wasting taxpayers' money by not thoroughly investigating an issue, so the question does seem fair and proper.
