Councilman Pablo Catano (of Team Guidi) comments to South Bay Lutheran High School Principal Norbert Huber:

The city of Hawthorne overstepped its own
rules and spent thousands of taxpayer dollars to ease traffic in front of the mayor's house and the homes of two council members, city records show......But the real breakthrough, she (Councilmember Ginny Lambert) said,
came when she discovered an untapped state account with several thousand dollars earmarked for Hawthorne. She said she couldn't remember the
