How many other city jobs have no oversight?

Chief Administrative Officer Rob Perry is obviously pretty upset in his interview with KRQE, link, regarding a city employee who, it would appear, was scamming taxpayers.

Roberto Albertorio, Esq. is the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer for the City of Albuquerque. We pay him $105K a year to put in a forty hour week serving the public interests. He was instead, it is alleged, running a private law practice out of his city office.

He was able to do that for years because he has "no supervisor".

Perry is "astounded" that a public employee being paid $105K (and with no supervision or oversight) might do something untoward while (because) no one was looking;

"We are absolutely astounded that this individual had done 800 cases while a city employee being paid $105,000 a year."

I'm absolutely astounded that Perry did nothing to prevent him from "doing 800 cases while a city employee being paid $105, 000 a year".

As Chief Administrative Officer, the $143K a year, Perry should know if there are employees who have "no supervisor" and no oversight, and who are therefore, consistent with basic human nature, more likely than not, milking the situation for all they can.

All of which begs a question;

Are there any other employees who are supervised by
no one, who report to no one, who fall under no one's
oversight?  How many are under supervised?

It is important to note that the exposure of this scandal did not
flow from governmental oversight, but rather, and as usual,
from whistleblower and investigative reporter oversight.

If not for reporters and whistleblowers, taxpayers are as defenseless as governmental self-oversight is feckless.
