In a recent council meeting, the Everett City Council called for Mayor Carlo DeMaria to repay $180,000 in fraudulent bonuses over five years. An investigation by the Office of Inspector General revealed that DeMaria had claimed $220,000 in longevity bonuses instead of the $40,000 he was entitled to. Councilor Wayne Matewsky expressed community concern, calling it a "sad day" for Everett. The council voted unanimously to conduct an audit, with residents voicing their outrage at the situation. An attorney for DeMaria disputed the findings, claiming they were biased and lacking due process.
The longevity bonus was a scam,” said resident Tony Raymond. “It was just that, a scam, a theft.
It’s a sad day in Everett,” said Councilor Wayne Matewsky at the hearing. “It’s a negative spotlight on our community.
We are going to do what's right for the citizens of Everett,
