A working class community losing their local

democracy, their resources, their reputation,
pride and self-respect

CPAAC, Hampian, 9-18-15 37

The mess left behind…

 Endless investigations, audits, media scrutiny
 Numerous expensive litigations and debts
 Grant violations galore (CDBG, JAG, State Parks)
 75% of city contracts expired; purchasing/bid

procedures in disarray
 Citizens lack experience in local government

democracy, its processes and finances
 Trust low; divisions hard to overcome
