Depends on what this audit comes up with. Also you know this guy will find stuff that will make city council's heads all start spinning.

My guess it is going to be ugly, no actually, fugly!

If the Belmont proposal was planned in Pacifica all the hippies newbees noobees and 'gang of no' would be screaming traffic, parking from the roof tops.

Every other city can and does but Pacifica.

Yeah, yeah, but as a city don't we already have a credit rating? We've borrowed money, haven't we--I mean from sources other than the sewer fund? Does anyone actually know? And 114, forget the fuglies and their spinning heads. I'd worry about the city spinning the results of an audit they commissioned. Fox. Hen house. Too many people involved have reason to make this appear an aberration from the distant past rather than something that was continuous and pretty hard to miss.
