McKnight stated to the question of honest accounting? Commissioner Jolley stated yes.
Commissioner Beecher stated that in response to Mr. McKnight’s questions, he would make a request back to McKnight that since the City does do audited financial statements yearly--that are unqualified passing audits--if he would submit his findings that he has told us in a verbal form in written form documented with wherever those figures are from, we would be happy to check those against the audited statements or have our auditors sit down with him and provide the answers to those questions.
Mayor Stebbins concurred with Commissioner Beecher. She would like to see Mr. McKnight’s findings in writing as well and have them compared to the audit statement.

Its too bad we have to endure another year and half of this before we can do the necessary house cleaning......
Electing the intellectuality challenged bears spoiled fruit.
The mayor DID say something..."Don't worry, be happy" as they ride off into the sunset on their 'hogs' while mass transit decays.
Let's talk about PUPPIES!
Donna and the other Commissioners are living examples of the first cousin to the "Peter Principle"
In this case it is to never make a more intelligent decision than one you would make at home (should I mow the grass on Saturday or Sunday?)
