A group of state legislators asked the Public Integrity Commission to investigate allegations Auditor R. Thomas Wagner violated the state code when he helped fellow Republican Richard C. Cathcart secure a city manager job.
Wagner's office is conducting an on-going investigation into $1.5 million in no-bid contracts awarded to a heating and air conditioning company during Cathcart's tenure at Delaware State University as associate vice president of operations. At Cathcart's request, however, Wagner called a Delaware City councilman to ease suspicions that an indictment was eminent, allowing Cathcart to secure the $80,000 per year job with a unanimous vote.
