Follow the (Taxpayers) Money at San Bruno City Hall

Update:  The money paid to Campbell did not come out of the general fund, according to City Manager Connie Jackson, "This photography service and all other costs associated with rebuild and recovery are being covered through the Trust Fund established by agreement between the City and PGE. The Trust Fund is funded entirely (at a maximum amount of $50 million) by PGE. No "taxpayer money" is being used for these purposes."
