Whistleblowers sparked the investigation, and firefighters voiced concerns over personal expenses on city funds. Driscoll fiercely defended his department, calling the audit unfair and damaging, while city officials noted he never responded before the public meeting. Four of 14 take-home vehicles have already been returned, and a separate state audit looms — with more departments under review.
