Bristol official welcomes probe into school fund surplus
Town Administrator Augustine J. Nunes wrote to RI Attorney General Julius C. Michaelson saying he welcomes an investigation into his handling of a $34,000 school fund surplus. The dispute centers on a special needs account and critique from town Solicitor Emilio Jannuccillo, with embezzlement accusations denied by Nunes and calls to review the school committee's autonomous control of budget funds. The letter, sent to multiple local and state figures including the Bristol Democratic Party leaders and Gov Philip Noel, labels the Bristol Phoenix article as a political ploy.
