Former federal prosecutor Patrick Collins will perform an independent investigation and make recommendations concerning issues raised by former Metra CEO Alex Clifford in his April 3, 2013, memo and at the July 17 RTA hearing, Metra announced today.
Collins will also investigate Metra’s hiring and contract policies, the agency said in a news release.
Collins will report to the full Metra board in public session within 90 days. As part of his work, Collins will follow up on Metra’s initial review and investigate new allegations made by Clifford, Metra said.
“Patrick Collins has an unquestioned reputation for integrity, honesty and fighting corruption,” said Metra Chairman Brad O’Halloran in the statement. “I look forward to an unflinching report which makes recommendations that help the agency restore confidence with riders, taxpayers and the communities we serve.”
