Carl Officer has opened his administration calling for two investigations. The first was one to look into the circumstances of a city officials recent death which seems a bit strange. The second is to investigate East Saint Louis’ grant making offices including Tax Increment Financing and Community Development Block Grant funds for potential improprieties.

Good for Carl.

Good for Carl. I don’t know of any specific problems with these departments and it could be Officer being Officer, but a good lookover by Federal and State officials would do the town well.
