The Associated Press has published a story centering on the arrangement attorney Jennifer Messer has with the City of Fishers.  That contract, which LarryInFishers reported back in February 14th of this year, calls for a $20,000 per month retainer fee for Mrs. Messer in exchange for the legal work performed on behalf of the city.

The story, written by Brian Slodysko, an AP reporter based in Indianapolis, also cites a podcast LarryInFishers posted March 17th with Fishers City Attorney Chris Greisl where the subject of Jennifer Messer’s contract is discussed.  You can access that podcast using this link.

The AP story looks at Mrs. Messer’s contract compared to other contracts around the state. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness defends his contract with Jennifer Messer, arguing it saves the city money.

Complicating all this is the fact that Jennifer Messer has moved to suburban Washington DC and performs most of the contract work for Fishers from her DC-area home.  Her husband, Indiana Congressman Luke Messer, is considering a U.S. Senate run in 2018.
