Bad boys bad boys, whatcha you gonna do whatcha you gonna do when they come for you….
According to both news reports Les doesn’t want to protect the tax payers financial interest by placing the Bond Holders on notice. Obviously he isn’t worried about fulfilling the contractual agreement to report a claim or the possibility of a claim. Personally I feel he is culpable with the Police Chiefs going rogue.
Of all the things he is accused of being a good steward of the tax payers interest isn’t one of them.
Les n Lil Daddy Said have some hard decisions to make in the coming weeks.
Indeed they will. In the case of the Denardo payroll fraud, the questions are pretty easily answered but the little Dutch Boy Hizzoner begs to differ:

However, the mayor believes the council is acting “prematurely” by filing notices with the bonding companies and said he will likely veto its decision.
“We don’t have anything to say if she’s guilty or not guilty,” Fillingame said. “We’ve got nothing to base that on yet except for suspicion.”
Better than a suspicion in a typical payroll fraud case there is actually a money trail as well as a documentary evidence trail in the form of time sheets and other documents used to prepare the fraudulent paychecks. In the case of Ms Denardo, everyone at City Hall knew she no longer worked there given the social media surrounding her leaving the City to work at FEMA and her going away party.
The money trail is especially easy for law enforcement to track. In the case of the Denardo payroll fraud Slabbed has been told by sources not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation that the paychecks were deposited into an account at a local bank bearing Ms. Denardo’s name. It was unclear at the time of the leak to Slabbed New Media that Ms. Denardo had knowledge of the account’s existence. The City Council’s action last Tuesday strongly suggests that question has been resolved.
