The nonprofit contracts audit

A city audit sampled 25 nonprofit contracts worth about $30 million. Nineteen missed their performance targets. They were paid in full anyway.

The city auditor sampled social-services contracts and found 19 of 25 missed nearly half their performance targets - and were paid in full regardless. Roughly $30 million in the sample alone.

What we watch: whether council attaches teeth to the next round of contracts, and whether any of the 19 vendors keep getting renewed.
