Grassley asks 20 Philly law firms for PHA data

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:

U.S. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R., Iowa) requested Tuesday that 20 Philadelphia law firms disclose all fees they have earned from the Philadelphia Housing Authority since 2003, citing concerns about PHA's "misuse" of federal funds as well as a series of sexual-harassment settlements.

Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, asked the firms in writing for all fees earned, bills submitted, summaries of work performed, and names of lawyers performing work for PHA.
