#1 "The investigation is continuing, and details will not be released at this time. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available."
Unfortunately, the "investigation" must now be put on hold due to a lack of funding.

#4 If they are issuing bonds (likely) for sewer/water/road projects, they should have been audited. I find the claim verrrry suspect, but possible

#7 It's an interesting situation.
The county itself has a long history of corruption. It's a huge area, with most of the economic focus on the western quarter. Unlike Cook County, Illinois, it's a bipartisan affair. Depending on who is in power, it's either ignored or becomes a witch-hunt.
The San Berdoo city government itself makes Lebanon look sane. Half the city council is in the unions' pockets. The rest are either ineffectual, or there to solely represent their 'demographic', or are so grating or gadfly-ish so as to undermine whatever good they're trying to do. The city attorney has long craved the mayoralty. Funny thing is, he can't seem to get himself elected. So there's a lot of intramural warfare.
That spills over to running the city. The city manager's parking spot is designated by a magnetic sign; they just can't seem to keep one. There's a temporary in office right now. It's almost the same thing for police chief. Public works is affected; there is a backlog to repair things. A year or two the city nearly arrested a man (a qualified electrician) for taking the initiative to repair some of his neighborhood's electrical infrastructure.
Like I said, interesting.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
