Everett mayor was overpaid $180,000, state watchdog says

Mayor Carlo DeMaria of Everett was overpaid by $180,000 in bonuses over five years, which his administration concealed from the city council and the public, according to the Office of Inspector General. DeMaria allegedly received $220,000 in longevity payments when he should have only been paid $40,000 between 2016 and 2021. The OIG recommended that the City Council recover the funds, audit payments to DeMaria, eliminate longevity payments for elected officials, and strengthen financial controls.
