This investigation was predicated on information received from an anonymous complaint that alleged Wisner Funds were being mismanaged by the City of New Orleans (City) and the Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) for contracted grass-cutting and lot abatement. The allegation was that the allocated one million dollars in the Cooperative Endeavor Agreement (CEA) between CEO and the City could not be spent in the allotted one-year time frame. Concern was that any unspent funds would not be accounted for properly.
