The Fresno Arts Council employee who embezzled almost $2 million was convicted and faces a restitution hearing before going to federal prison. You might think the story is over. Sorry -- it just got weirder. For starters, one-third of the stolen funds wasn't even Measure P money. So where did it come from?

Lack of public accountability and a complete shutout of the media means a host of troubling questions remain, including: Why did PayPal recently (and mysteriously) reimburse the Fresno Arts Council a big chunk of money? Will the city get a similar deal? How did the council's president, treasurers and executive director overlook the fact that more than $600,000 of non-Measure P money was missing for nearly four years before it was discovered?
