Summary
Montebello is reportedly locking in 30-year no-bid contracts for connected insiders, meaning your tax dollars are committed for decades without competitive bidding. That limits competition and makes it harder to know if the city is getting a fair deal. Ask your council representative who approved these deals and why.
