Michael Aguirre has accused Lamont Ewell of failing to properly manage the contracts of city auditors. He said the law firm of Vinson & Elkins, which was hired to investigate the alleged wrongdoing, had 97 people bill the city for a combined $5.7 million over the 17 months of its investigation. The auditors are being paid $190-900/hour + expenses.
