CIETC outrage not near end
Lawyers in the CIETC civil lawsuit agreed Thursday on an August 2010 trial date, which sets the stage for at least two more years of legal battles over roughly $1.5 million in taxpayer money allegedly misspent by former job-training executive Ramona Cunningham and others.
"There are a lot of different issues, and there are a lot of people in the case that weren't in the case before," said Leon Spies, attorney for former Iowa Workforce Development executive Jane Barto, one of those accused in the case. "I think the blister continues to fester."
