Montreal’s inspector general blasts ex-mayor Denis Coderre over Formula E race
Montreal’s inspector general accused former mayor Denis Coderre on Monday of circumventing rules in his handling of last year’s Formula E electric race in the city.
Coderre originally wanted well-known entertainment production company evenko to do most of the work on the project.
But evenko concluded the event would lose millions of dollars a year over its first three years.
Coderre’s administration then created Montreal It’s Electric, a non-profit whose goal was was to obtain government subsidies.
