@CityofBrighton

#Breaking audit helps explain why @CityofBrighton water bills skyrocketed for taxpayers. Practices exposed city to potential fraud, waste and abuse. @KDVR #FOX31 #BrightonWater kdvr.com/news/local/dir…

The audit found the utilities department over estimated projects, leading to massive budget increases. City council approved these budgets and passed the cost on to taxpayers through water-related fees and rates. #FOX31 #BrightonWater

Auditors didn't find evidence of crimes. Audit highlights how the budgeting process was vague, difficult to understand and didn't line up with city code. #FOX31 #BrightonWater

The report recommends stronger council oversight over the budgeting process, access to the vendor list for city-funded projects and approval of any major budget increases. #FOX31 #BrightonWater

@DenverPolice

THREAD: Recently got these numbers from our #ProblemSolvers CORA request.

Since 2018, @DenverPolice has spent roughly $584,000 on less-than-lethal munitions. In 2020, the department spent more than 2X on these items than the previous two years combined. @KDVR

@DenverPolice

2/ According to Denver administrators, @DenverPolice doesn't budget for these items. DPD purchases them as needed, and the cost is absorbed in the budget as an expense. @KDVR

@DenverPolice

3/ As much as these expenses look large, as I previously reported, @DenverPolice spent more than $2.6 million in overtime covering the first few weeks of unrest through the #GeorgeFloyd protests downtown. @KDVR
