Bernardi Is Top Choice to Oversee Bond Funds
City Council President John Ferraro said Friday he is appointing former Councilman Ernani Bernardi to a panel to oversee spending of $744 million in bond funds for police and fire stations, if a bond measure is approved Tuesday by voters.
Ferraro cited Bernardi’s reputation as a tough fiscal watchdog while a council member.
“I know of no one better qualified to look after the taxpayers’ interest and insure that these important public safety projects are completed on time and within the budget,” Ferraro said.
