Has the former mayor been prosecuted for using city funds for political purposes?
Good question..
Whats a city official doing fronting a non-connected/non-resident/non-taxpaying guy with city money for non-emergency reasons ???
No. Unfortunately, the former mayor (a Democrat) committed suicide last winter. That was truly a shame since he was a good man and I am sorry he felt that was his onl course. But I am also certain his politics would not have allowed him to push for the payment.
