WESTWOOD ROOFING SCANDAL

 

Kan We Help discovered that the Lassen County Supervisors pad their budgets with millions of dollars in innocuous little accounts that normally go unnoticed.

This practice allows the CAO to move money around without the knowledge of the Supervisors

The Westwood Library Re-roof account is just one of many small accounts that Kan We Help has discovered.  Millions of taxpayers dollars are hidden away in postage, office expenses, conference and "paving"  line items

District 4 received the bulk of the Westwood Library roof dollars for the Bieber Library

WESTWOOD LIBRARY

FINALLY

GETS A NEW ROOF

 

Look how much money was placed in the 150/1501 Budget for the Westwood Library from 2012 to 2015. 

$222,359

Every year, all of this money was diverted to other projects.

 

SEPTEMBER 22, 2015

 

The Lassen County Supervisors divert budgeted dollars to other projects as a matter of ordinary business.

Suddenly the "ACTUAL" expenditures change again. Look, in particular to the re-roofing of the Westwood Library.

The County spent $58,000 to re-roof the 1,000 square foot Westwood Library in 2012, and in  2013 spent $49,000 to re-roof the Westwood Library, and in 2014 spent $33,751 to re-roof the Westwood Library.

FACT: The Westwood Library hasn't had a new roof in 30 yearsand there is every indication that the $10,000 was earmarked for another purpose
