Impact analysis
Taxpayer money was wasted on over-the-top expenses, which could mean tighter budgets or higher costs for city services down the line.
No one really benefits when public funds are mismanaged, though past spenders got some nice perks.
Everyday residents take the hit because their hard-earned tax dollars are being squandered instead of fixing local roads or parks.
