The $41,000 Answer

Since the day he died, and probably even before that, rumors long circulated that some money disappeared under Bruce Richards' watch. An audit being released by the city shows that about $41,000 went missing under Richards' tenure.

It's unclear what the city does from here, what Richards did for the money (although a lot of people mention he drove sweet cars), and if the money can be reclaimed somehow. It will be interesting how the Council handles this tonight.

Add your comments below, but I think this is a good time to add a special note: Some comments have been slipping toward the unacceptible lately, and I'm sure this story will lead some folks down a road they shouldn't go down. You can't libel the dead, but you can be disrespectful. Don't be disrespectful, and keep it on the facts at hand. Play fair.
