I found an article by a guy named Vogel at the Trib: "Weak oversight of spending cited". Is that the story?

Seems pretty weak to me. Though, sure, local governments blow lots of money on stupid crap all the time. I'm sure there's lots of waste. Duh. It's government. But the waste that he's crowing about seems pretty small potatoes. Hell... I blow a lot more money than that every year, and I HAVE a boss that checks out my spending.

But the Trib *does* have it in for the city. They're paranoid for a reason. Ever since the whole Brame thing, it's open season for the Trib WRT to the city, and they even have a doe tag.

Too bad there isn't a media outlet that will touch the story about the Trib and their total vendetta.

That was one of five stories on the subject in the front section of the Trib today.

There's blood in the water with them for sure. But they've got monopoly -- like most other cities rags. Nothing you can do about it...except get out of government. I have to live with them every day I have this job. No choice. Can't start a p#####g match with people who have bladders the size of ink barrels (or some such mixed metaphor).
