Impact analysis
Taxpayer money might have been wasted or stolen, and the city could face fines or have to repay funds.
Honestly, right now, nobody seems to be benefiting except maybe the folks who committed the fraud.
Taxpayers and residents who followed the rules are definitely getting the short end of the stick.
