Carson mayor confirmed that a member, Gloria, filed a letter to the Department of Finance.
The letter was about Carson losing out on millions of dollars by forgiving the debt that Carson Maketetplace owed the city (to go to the schools).
He confirmed that the city was supposed to get 3 million owed by Carson Marketplace (who owned the land before they gave it to the Chargers), but he said the Chargers agreed to pay that money instead.
He said that Gloria is from Inglewood, but Fred challenged him on that, saying she doesn't represent the Inglewood project, and he agreed that she doesn't, because she is an LA County official.
The mayor then says she is biased and he believes she is just trying to undermine Carson because she likes Inglewood more, so there's no basis or merit to the letter.
Fred said that she holds multiple positions, and is pretty well respected and doesn't buy that she is simply acting out of spite. He also warns the Carson mayor about his choice of words because they were pretty harsh, because she probably takes her job pretty seriously.
Carson mayor then says he doesn't believe it'll slow or delay the project, but something else could always come up (which was weird to say in my opinion).
I'm thinking it'll probably be a lot of nothing. Fred said he'll be contacting the Department of Finance later to see what they say.
It is interesting that Robles said pretty much the same thing about the harassment suit. It's either that he's made some enemies or that could be something to both of these issues. I kind of think the enemies thing may be whats going on.
