West Haven to release ‘significant findings’ of forensic audit Aug. 10

Mayor John M. Picard will hold a special informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 10 at Bailey Middle School to present “significant findings” of the long-anticipated forensic audit of the city’s capital grant expenditures under former Mayor H. Richard Borer Jr.

Corporate and financial investigators Checkers International Inc. of Fairfield, which conducted the audit, will present its full investigative report in the school’s auditorium, 106 Morgan Lane. The public is invited.
