It was reassuring to hear that the mayor and the city council voted to have an outside agency investigate the thefts that occurred at the DPW. However, it was also disheartening to hear the statements made by Councilwoman Brower. Mrs. Brower needs a reality check, because I can assure her and any member of council, the public is fighting mad over these thefts.
We currently have a professional police department and a new DA administration, I would hate to see the cloud of suspicion draw them into an existing or non-existing cover up.
Mayor Quill and Councilor Brower were both elected for change. Considering the comments made by Councilor Brower, what exactly has changed? Has public trust increased? I happen to know the majority of city employees are in fact valuable, experienced, and honest employees, who care a great deal about their jobs and the city of Auburn. It's only a few individuals who are giving all valued employees a black eye. These crimes should have been prosecuted immediately to protect the integrity of all city employees. This should have been priority one for the city manager and the city council. Councilors Graney and Smith should be commended for their commitment to the taxpayers of Auburn.

The question for which I am now awaiting an answer is: Did this amnesty deal grant immunity from public knowledge, or only from prosecution? And did the person granting the immunity have the authority to grant it, including refusal to provide information under a FOIL request?
If there is no document with names today, it's because someone destroyed it -- I don't believe for a minute no documentation, not even an e-mail, ever existed.
But for now, I can sit back and see for the findings of the investigation. "
