Kessler's Notes very telling.

One page of Kessler's notes detailed Alan Bray's take of Cape Coral. I have transcribed them here:

"Might be issues receiving records from the Contract Manager because they complained about last audit. (Townsend?)"

"Townsend had issues with Contract Manager.
When he issued his report he was 'bullied' and 'threatened' by 'KBR Goons!'
Alan had to jump in between along with another staff member of the city auditor's office.
Escorted Townsend"

"Alan - issues have been brought up in past re: expansion projects might be illegal activity or fraud going on - project costs"

"could be why hesitant w/ records"

Mr. Bray provided all of this "information" on February 27th, 2006. I called Mr. Townsend this morning to ask him if he had at any time felt bullied or threatened. He said he had not. Mr. Bray provided his own take on the events of the past. This was represented very well in Mr. Kessler's report, as the allegations from unnamed city employees.
