Under the City Charter, the City has a Finance Department, headed by the Director of Finance appointed by mayor Fung with the approval of the City Council. Reporting directly to the Mayor, the Director of Finance is in charge of the administration of the financial affairs of the City, with specific responsibility for assessing, collecting and authorizing the disbursement of all City money, for pre...paring and administering the annual City Budget, and for accounting of all financial transactions. It is the finance director who is the defendant in this action. Fung clearly has influence over this appeal. If Fung refuses to appeal he must be voted out of office!

Fung approves city budgets and he clearly has influence over the city council and school committee. WPRO is posting on their website that mayor Fung is not currently supporting an appeal. I hope this is not currently accurate. If Fung has no power and if his position on this matter is so irrelevant, then why is WPRO making this public? It is clear Fung must be voted out of office if he refuses to suggest an appeal!
