West Haven Mayor Nancy Rossi said the city plans to provide whatever's necessary to making the needed adjustments after a report released from the Office of Policy and Management detailed misuse of COVID-19 Relief Funds.
Rossi said she is confident that West Haven"can significantly increase reimbursement for these COVID-related expenses."
“The audit findings are outrageous and a betrayal of the public’s trust. They require further analysis and investigation. The MARB has considerable work to complete in order assist West Haven with its finances and accounting practices. The legislature established the MARB process to improve municipal transparency and accountability and that process should continue for the benefit of the residents of West Haven and the State of Connecticut," Max Reiss, spokesperson for Gov. Lamont said.
West Haven's former finance director Frank Cieplinski told auditors that city invoices are often times submitted once it's due to be paid. The report found that this process has resulted in many accounting irregularities.
