A consultant hired by the city to lobby its legislative agenda, and in particular this year’s casino project, has ended her contract a week before the project has its first test in the General Assembly.
Lisa Speller, CEO of The Speller Consulting Group, told The Progress-Index Thursday that philosophical differences between her and the city over the direction of the project prompted her to terminate her relationship with the city. She said the decision was hers, and she was not asked by anyone in the city to resign.
“I made the decision to end [the contract] as they were going in a different direction,” Speller said.
