[edit] Lied about credentials
Chief Technology Officer Anthony Jones, currently under fire for his department's role in the city cameras and 311 programs, finds himself in trouble once more - this time over his resume. It seems that the college degree Jones claimed to have earned, and put on two job applications, never existed.
Hired right before Hurricane Katrina, Jones saw his salary rise from $99,000 to $160,000, the same amount made by the previous CTO, who held a college degree. In fact, under current New Orleans law, the position of CTO must be filled by someone holding a college degree.
In an attempt to explain the issue away, Chief Administrative Officer Brenda Hatfield said that "'Interim' was placed before his title with the understanding it would be removed when he earned that degree."[1]
