Full Title: Sloppy bookkeeping' led to $924 million in accounting mistakes in Philly budget; City Controller launches investigation
This is what happens when your priority is to make your city a sanctuary for criminals. Mayor Kleptocrat Kenney is the guy who did the happy dance the other day over the sanctuary city ruling.
(Unnecessary to click link the headline says it all)

You mean the judges cover for the thieving Democrat politicians?

[MichaelCorleone]

You can bet that, unless they can pin it on a straight White male, nothing will come of this.

A reassignment with a raise or suspension with full pay otherwise.

[Joe Brower]

Unreal. There's "sloppy", and then there's "lose a billion dollars" sloppy.

Worse still, is how in this day and age we have come to expect this sort of thing on a continual basis.

A few years ago, my little town (which has no history of embezzlement) found that $2M was missing from our school account (it wasn’t embezzled). They had a big public meeting. To explain the lack of embezzlement. A number of official stood up and talked about the sloppy bookkeeping (and how this wasn’t embezzlement). They explained that the money was just gone (not embezzled) and could not be recovered. No one would be prosecuted (because nothing was embezzled) and we just had to move on.

Sloppy bookkeeping. [shrug] What can you do?

[NohSpinZone]

>>>Mayor Jim Kenney said the money isn't missing. "It's like your checkbook, you have to balance it every month and it hasn't been balanced in a while," he said. "It's not something we want, it's not something we necessarily caused, but we are fixing it."<<<

This is the same clown that danced like a goofball when the crooked judged said the POTUS couldn't financially penalize sanctuary cities, right? Oh please let him be behind this fraud and on his way to the gray bar hotel soon. PULEEZE!

A billion here, a billion there... pretty soon you’re talking about some real money

There’s a simple fix. Increase the soda tax

I work for a good sized subsidiary of a multi-national company.

They have auditors come in to the office for a few days every few months. They just show up and set up camp in a conference room for a few days, then leave.

I assume they are checking everything over. Sloppy accounting isn’t an excuse.

If there is a problem, it’s dealt with.

The last CFO mysteriously died. (actually he was really good. Totally natural causes)

In a just world, people would be questioned and would likely end up fired or even in jail. But, this is Philly.

[AppyPappy]

I have an accounting degree. Money doesn’t just disappear. It goes somewhere or it was never received. They may have overstated their budget but someone is responsible for that. That budget didn’t write itself.

They are hiding the person responsible.

[mewzilla]

Aren’t the Feebs supposed to investigate **** like this?! Good GAD.

[dfwgator]

“Mistakes were made.”

[dfwgator]

“I embezzled it, sir!”

Are any of the local politicians wearing a new pinkie ring and some gold chains?

[Scooter100]

"Come on in, Mr. Accounting Intern. Shut the door. Look, we'll give you $50 million to turn your head the other way on all these problems. Now whataya say little buddy, are you a team player?"

Simple as that.

[VeniVidiVici]

So the Philadelphia mayor stole millions of dollars?
