I was wondering how long it would take. The first knife has come out, and it’s exactly who you’d expect it to be from!

City council member Shelly Sekula-Gibbs is calling for an independent audit of all departments affected. In a memo obtained Thursday, Sekula-Gibbs made an official request, and offered $10,000 from her council office’s budget to help pay for the audit.

Oh, yeah baby. I wonder what Ms. Alvarado is calling her tonight? I had missed that she was even offering money out of her own budget.

I just hope that by “all departments” she means council member offices too, but I doubt it. If she does, look for her proposal to gain minimal support. It looks like the need may really be there for it though:

…KPRC found a document signed by Alvarado in late 2004 that granted Hernandez and Watkins significant financial authority. It may not have been intended to let the group give raises to each other, but it made it easier, the station reported.
