Eyewitness News Everywhere Uncovers the big bucks the city of Memphis is paying out. Most of the time, the city pays up because city employees have messed up.
Chief Investigator Jeni Diprizio looks at some of the crazy claims. From police officers who cause crashes to a Public Works employee who let a child get hurt, when the kid got tangled up in a hose.
Your tax dollars have bought new furniture and new cars. You name it and you’ve probably paid for it. In one case, you paid for a woman’s dog that was accidentally killed.
Some of these payouts are just a few hundred dollars while others are much more.
You can watch “Their Claims, Your Money”, Monday night, November 12, 2007, on Eyewitness News Everywhere at 9:00 p.m.
