The facts about Wendy Greuel.
Wendy Greuel sets the record straight:
It’s unfortunate that my opponents are distorting the numbers and trying to distract voters from the fact that they failed to act and turned a blind eye to waste, fraud and abuse.
As Mayor, I will change the culture at City Hall so that we crack down on waste and spend our precious taxpayer dollars more wisely and efficiently.

Two former city controllers stand with Wendy...
As our City Controller, Wendy Greuel is responsible for uncovering wasteful spending - and then turning over those audits to the City Council for action. But too often, members of the City Council fail to act.
Here's what two of her predecessors had to say about the culture at City Hall:
Laura Chick, City Controller, 2001-2009:
"I'm very familiar with Wendy's audit reports. I'm also familiar with what she has to go through as City Controller being criticized by City leaders for shining the light on waste, fraud and abuse in City government. People always want to kill the messenger or play around with the numbers--rather than just solving the problems. Wendy has performed her work with honor and integrity--something we desperately need in City Hall."
Rick Tuttle, City Controller, 1985-2001:
"As Los Angeles' former City Controller, I have complete confidence in Wendy Greuel and the auditors who work every day to uncover waste, fraud and abuse. As someone who served as Los Angeles' City Controller for 16 years, I know how much money the city squanders every day. It's easy to point fingers, but it's the Council's responsibility to act on those findings. That's why Wendy's investigations are so important. LA needs Wendy Greuel, someone with integrity who will focus on the real issues facing our city, not political distractions."
