(Intro)

Hey y’all, gather ‘round, let me tell you ‘bout the disbursements
For the City of Fortuna, where the money went

(Verse 1)
On November 19th, a total of three hundred ninety-three grand
Was spent on legal services and a pre-employment psych eval plan
From AT&T to Ecolab, they paid their dues
For janitorial supplies and equipment fuel to use

(Chorus)
Disbursements, disbursements, where’s the money goin’?
Gotta keep the city runnin’, gotta keep the cash flowin’
From professional services to building repairs
Every penny counts, gotta show we care

(Verse 2)
On November 24th, even more cash flew
Over five hundred sixty grand, a sky-high view
From permits to network support, they paid the way
For asphalt and plant chemicals, gotta make it all okay

(Chorus)
Disbursements, disbursements, where’s the money goin’?
Gotta keep the city runnin’, gotta keep the cash flowin’
From equipment maintenance to regulatory compliance
Every dollar matters, gotta make it all align

(Bridge)
The city’s gotta function, gotta keep the lights on
From City Hall to the parks, gotta make sure it’s all strong
Every payment, every bill, it’s all crucial
To keep the city of Fortuna lookin’ beautiful

(Chorus)
Disbursements, disbursements, where’s the money goin’?
Gotta keep the city runnin’, gotta keep the cash flowin’
From department supplies to capital outlay
Every expenditure counts, gotta make it all stay

(Outro)
So here’s the report, for the Mayor and City Council crew
On where the money went, every cent accounted too
From disbursements big and small, every payment fine
Keeping Fortuna movin’, keepin’ it in line.

As the Human Resources Director/City Clerk for the City of Fortuna, Siana Emmons was used to handling sensitive information and making sure that all employees were treated fairly and within the boundaries of the law. So when she noticed discrepancies in the approval of the Amended Classification and Pay Rate Schedule for the Fiscal Year 2025-26, she knew something was amiss.

After digging deeper into the records, Siana discovered that certain officers and sergeants in the police department were receiving higher retention stipends and base salary increases than what was outlined in the approved resolution. It seemed that someone within the department was manipulating the numbers to benefit themselves and their colleagues.

Determined to get to the bottom of this corruption, Siana reached out to her friend and former police detective, Jake O’Connor. Together, they started investigating the case discreetly, interviewing employees and cross-referencing financial records.

As they delved deeper into the inner workings of the police department, Siana and Jake uncovered a web of deceit and backroom deals. It became clear that a group of high-ranking officers had been embezzling funds from the city’s budget for their personal gain, while manipulating the pay rates of their colleagues to cover their tracks.

With the evidence in hand, Siana and Jake presented their findings to the City Council, leading to the arrest and prosecution of the corrupt officers. The City of Fortuna was able to recover the stolen funds and restore integrity to its police department.

As the dust settled, Siana couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in uncovering the truth and upholding justice for the hardworking employees of the city. And with Jake by her side, she knew that no one could escape the long arm of the law in Fortuna.
