The current audit report, covering Mayor Adrian Mapp's first year in office and the first time in a while that the city has had a full-time, permanent chief financial officer, lists only four recommendations for improvement.
As reported in the mayors weekly newsletter:
- The City has reduced its audit findings by 75% from 16 to 4. This accomplishment can be attributed to the leadership of Chief Financial Officer, Al Steinberg, who assumed the position in 2014.
Congratulations to the Finance staff for achieving this level of fiscal control!
This will not sit well with Toliver, Greaves, Rivers and "fishy" Taylor ..... who do these people in the Mapp administration think they are ? Following the guidelines to fiscal accountability...this city limped along quite ok while bleeding money and watching employees abscond with it.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a betting man, I would put money on one of the Council members listed above grandstanding about FOUR recommendations - without the slightest effort to say that it is a vast improvement from prior administrations. Of course at the same time they won't have the slightest idea what the meaning of the four current recommendations even are.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to even trust these auditors, who besides having been around forever beyond any notion of acceptable length of service and best practices, have aided and abetted the ongoing PMUA $100K monthly cash flow fraud, as well as plying the waters of prohibited campaign contributions. The larger implication is that Plainfield citizens can be told one thing by our elected officials and their appointees, while reality is something else entirely.
ReplyDeleteAlan, have you ever tried to find anything positive around you? Trust? Do you even trust yourself?
DeleteMaybe you should run for public office in Plainfield and see if Jerry G still supports you, if he ever really did.
Alan, with all due respect, why do you believe that everything that goes in city hall has to be approved by you? The fact of the matter is you can be the self-appointed watchdog of all things Plainfield as much as you like, but keep in mind, the administration does not need your approval, consent, input etc.. to run this city. If you want to have a say about the goings on and the day to day activity, then put yourself out there and run for office or fall back. You don’t own this city and everything is not going to work the way you think it should. Most important, you really can’t believe you are the only one that knows what’s good for the city do you?
DeleteWell, just boo hoo to you toadies and sycophants. How about if they just follow the terms of their own contracts and ordinances? Really, some of you anonymous bootlickers are just pathetic.
DeleteThe auditors the city uses are independent and free from city pressure. I guess anyone who thought Sharon did a good job would question them. That means Sharon or Jerry did them a favor and they owe, they owe, or off their mouth goes.
ReplyDeleteOh Alan, some folks can't see good in anything. This is yet another conspiracy by Mayor Mapp and his administration. Right?
ReplyDeleteAt least Alan has the guts to sign his name. The majority of commenters here hide behind 'anonymous." Do none of you see the irony?
