Com'on Jan Bohman!!  There were several "particular reasons” why Ruiz wasn't reviewed last year, and you know what they are! Ruiz is lucky he hasn't been shown the door by now.

Now the city manger is trying to fend-off an initiative drive for a publically-elected independent city auditor.  Out-of-the-blue, the mayor has introduced a proposal for an "inside" performance auditor, who will be controlled by Ruiz.   The mayor's stunt is only a hedge against an unbiased "outside" independent auditor.  Public trust, transparency and accountability have never been a priority for the current mayor, Lucy Vinis.

This end-around attempt will tank any remaining trust for the City of Eugene.  Please sign the petition (coming soon) for a city charter amendment, allowing for an independent city auditor, http://cityaccountability.org/ , otherwise face more nonsense, more fee increases, and more property tax levies.  (And the city talks about affordable housing...yeah, right.)
