$20 million in legal fees… $9 million to city attorney’s firm

The Modesto City Council hired more than they bargained for in their selection of Monica Houston as the city auditor because she is competent, ethical, and courageous.  The council and the City Attorney are searching for ways to get rid of her.

Mayor Sabatino demands that the California State Bar investigate City Attorney Adam Lindgren to determine how Modesto has paid over $20 million in legal since 2014

Mayor Sabatino holds Mayor Ted Brandvold and Council accountable for covering up illegal conduct and mass conflicts of interest in creating a dysfunctional government

On October 10th the Bee reported Brandvold said, “Our city is broken, and we must take appropriate steps to fix it”

Brandvold has George Petrulakis as his chief of staff.
