Chief Harper was ousted because of questionable expense payments which the department made to a private security firm started by him and others in the police department. Three members of the department have been suspended pending the investigation. Acting Police Chief Regina McDonald hints that further disciplinary actions may be taken.

Meanwhile, the mayor has been put on the hot seat because his bodyguards accessed an unauthorized account for paying expenses, but those expenses were legitimate. The the FBI has copies of the records from the financial institution where the account is held, but the FBI is not is not sharing those copies. The mayor's opponents want to see those copies.

These are the types of controversies that the news media enjoy, since there are always new chapters to write.
