Mayor Adrian Fenty is proposing to bill outside organizations for contract-related legal services that have long been provided free of charge by the city’s Office of the Attorney General.
Under the “Commercial Transactions Cost Recovery” plan, the mayor would be authorized to charge all for-profit ornonprofit entities for legal services tied to loans, grants and revenue bonds they obtain through the District government. Organizations also could be billed for work by the attorney general related to the sale or lease of District-owned property.
