Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria was overpaid $180,000 in bonuses from 2016 to 2021, according to the Office of Inspector General (OIG), which found he should have received only $40,000. The city attempted to conceal the overpayments by altering ordinance language and hiding them in obscure budget items. The OIG recommended recovering the funds, enhancing financial controls, and providing ethics training. DeMaria's administration is accused of violating ethics laws.
