County Commissioner Amber Mills - District 1, gave an example of how some of the mayor's grant pool money is used by commissioners.  

Commissioner Brooks presented an item for $65,000 to be granted to a friends consulting firm with no volunteers, no employees for the non-profit listed on the request.  Mills says that Brooks brought the item back up a 3rd time and suddenly there were two volunteers listed and the requested amount was $32,000 and miraculously the grant request passed.
