The Everett City Council has moved to investigate Mayor Carlo DeMaria after discovering that he received $180,000 in overpayments due to misapplication of city ordinances. The council abolished the longevity bonus ordinance and will hire an independent auditing firm to review nine years of payments. The mayor, who has been criticized for allegedly concealing these payments, claimed he would not return the funds without due process, even as he announced intentions to run for re-election later this year, despite losing support from the council and public.
The council voted to abolish the city's longevity bonus ordinance, hire an independent auditing firm to examine payments to the mayor over the last nine years.
I don't care for the way he's treating us. The taxpayers of Everett have a right to know what went where, said resident Mary Frontin during a public comment.
