An angry Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner Charlotte Rodstrom accuses City Manager George Gretsas of secretly signing multi-year contracts with 18 top aides.

She said the contracts could make the city liable for huge amounts of severance pay, and she finds the whole thing "despicable." [More on Gretsas: http://www.fortlauderdaleobserver.com ]
