Mystery money shows up at City Hall

Bessemer council members are waiting to hear where a mysterious $2 million windfall came from to balance the city's proposed $36 million 2010 budget.

At an earlier budget meeting this week, Travis Brooks, the city's chief accountant who also plays city clerk and revenue department chief, informed the council of the money.

But under questioning, Brooks could not remember where the $2 million came from.

Pretty good work, if you can get it.
