Ah, San Bernardino. You may remember that the city filed for bankruptcy, and that city officials say the budget figures were falsified for 13 out of 16 years.
Yeah. Well.
Officials in San Bernardino, which announced last week that it intended to file for bankruptcy, had known for years that the city’s finances were becoming critical.

“I told the council two years in a row that, if this continues, we’re going to be looking at bankruptcy. I got criticized for bringing up the word ‘bankruptcy.’ They called it scare tactics,” said former City Manager Charles McNeely, who resigned unexpectedly in May. “The politics of that place are just impossible to deal with.”
And the county sheriff is looking into “allegations of ‘possible criminal activity within departments of the San Bernardino city government”, just for the record.
