If an elected independent city auditor were to cost $2M per year instead of $600k, I'd still think it was the deal of a lifetime. Once this initiative passes in May, what will a certain sleazy city manager do? I suspect he will quickly finish hiding the bodies and announce his retirement. I suspect that on about now Mr. Ruiz is putting out feelers for his next gig. 

Gee, I wonder which city or organization he will destroy next. I'd suggest he move to the South, but they don't have any functional cities to kill off.

As far as following the money, how did Ruiz manage to build a cop shop that the voters denied a bond for? How is it that he has budgeted nearly $30M for a partial, incomplete city hall that the voters also voted down? Answer: he's been stealing money from other programs like libraries and roads, which he knows we will vote to fund with bonds. Now you know why I think $2M per year to stop this charade would be a bargain.
