I don’t see any attemt for wehovill to “dreg up” any financial review of our own City of WeHo’s Finances, Speding, transfers on the record and any money passing off the official City Accounting. Hundreds of millions pass though weho city hall, and wehovill is only choosing to dreg up the dirt and point the finger “at a bad guy” over tens of thousands of dollars??
How about the hundreds of millions of city collecting, spending and borroeing again via Bond Issues??
Please excuse my candor. Year after year at an annual May City Council Meeting our electeds say, “We really care about this and as soon as this year is over, we’re going to seriously engage with CSW to improve next year.

It’s just not good enough to get these two years later – #TakeBackOurPride
