County Executive Mark Poloncarz has selected law firm Hiscock & Barclay as county bond counsel, overseeing county financing transactions.
After making that choice, Poloncarz learned that the firm and one of its lawyers had contributed a combined $25,000 to his war chest. Poloncarz has returned those donations, describing the action as a means of allaying any concerns of impropriety.
Poloncarz has accepted donations from other law firms that do have business interests with the county.
