Long Beach Grand Prix billing questioned by city auditor
City Budget chief James B. Phelps faulted charges for the Grand Prix as questionable after department heads approved reductions and omissions. Police, engineering, and health costs were trimmed, and compensatory time off not reflected in final bills. Promoter Chris Pook denied involvement in billing analysis. Debts exceed $865,000 with creditors offered cash and stock, while city and staff await resolution.
