The San Diego Union-Tribune quoted Professor Chet Newland about widespread discrepancies between what a contractor charged for picking up wildfire debris and what was actually delivered at recycling centers. "They should have clear records for each of the deliveries, and they certainly should match with the billing," Newland said. "The city simply must hold them accountable -- usually it would have been before making a payment," he added.
