AG, Citi Center, Updated Story

The attorney general's office announced yesterday that it has completed an inquiry into the Citi Performing Arts Center and will take no further action against the center, which faced criticism this year for its decision to pay president and chief executive officer Josiah A. Spaulding Jr. a $1.2 million bonus despite the nonprofit organization's financial struggles.

The attorney general's review concluded that while there were a few "weaknesses and lapses" in Citi Center procedures, the organization's establishment of Spaulding's compensation and its business relationships with board members and staff were "generally consistent with what we would expect of our public charities."
