And possible unprofessionalism for expense reimbursements.
In February 2024, in response to Harvey’s request for reimbursement of expenses, Claimant asked to see his signed employment agreement to confirm that the expenses were authorized by his contract. Harvey asked Claimant, “Why can’t you just process the reimbursement?” At first, Claimant thought Harvey was joking and explained that City policy required supporting documentation to justify any payment to employees beyond their regular paycheck.

Got to keep them children working at the marijuana farm.
With search warrants in hand, federal agents raided two Central Coast cannabis farms on Thursday – one in Carpinteria and the other in Camarillo – resulting in a protester pointing a gun at agents, a farm worker’s death and the discovery of 10 children at one of the cannabis facilities.
All of the children were undocumented and eight were unaccompanied, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott. The owners of Glass House Farms are now facing allegations he violated child labor laws.

Don’t sign, he does not want the admit that there are as many people opposed to the sneaky way the raise was approved.
“We’re about 40% over the required 10% [of signatures],” said Coletti, who went on to say that the council went around state law to grant themselves the raise.

Health officials are threatening to take away Lucy the pig because of a New York City law that doesn’t allow pigs to be kept as pets.
But at 15 years old, the now senior emotional support pet owned by the Gannone family spends these days on a series of meds, resting on the couch.

The health department says no violations have been issued, and a City Hall spokesperson says they’re working on a solution that involves getting Lucy moved to the Gannones’ house upstate, which the family says is under a lot of construction.
