And while the City Council is patting itself on the back for definitively cracking down on some kind of graft – and police are getting ready to charge - the mother of one of those detained employees and she says “not so fast.” Michelle Cattouse visited our studios late this evening to complain that her daughter Kera Ford is being unfairly detained because she doesn’t even handle money at the City Council.
Michelle Cattouse, Mother of Detainee
“Yes they have them on pending investigation for $60,000 which is missing and they are blaming it on them.”
Keith Swift,
“You believe she had nothing to do with it?”
Michelle Cattouse,
“She had nothing to do with $60,000. Where is Zenaida Moya? Why doesn’t Zenaida Moya come out and speak? If she knows that $60,000 is lost why doesn’t she make a change instead of having them under investigation for 48 hours pending investigation?”
Keith Swift,
“And you don’t believe your daughter is involved?”
Michelle Cattouse,
“She did not do that. She has worked at City Council for 7 years.”
Keith Swift,
“What does your daughter do there?”
Michelle Cattouse,
“She is an NHR….”
Keith Swift,
“She handles money?”
Michelle Cattouse,
“No she doesn’t handle money.”
And for balance we note that sources in City Hall have told us that Cattouse’s daughter was in the meeting with the Mayor and was one of those persons who returned money.
