Foley & Lardner was retained by the troubled city of Flint, Michigan, earlier this year to look into allegations made by former Interim City Attorney Anthony Chubb.
The Flint Journal reported Monday on documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request indicating that Foley & Lardner was hired on March 29 by current City Attorney Stacy Erwin Oakes for a fee of up to $5,000. The documents did not detail what the allegations made by Chubb were, according to the newspaper, and a spokeswoman for Foley & Lardner did not return a request for comment on the matter Tuesday.
