"The revelation came after Walker reiterated a claim that he has not raided the Trust Fund to balance the budget as had the previous administration. Council President Marty Eggleston then pulled out a 14-page bank transaction report that showed Walker personally authorizing a $465,000 drawdown from the Trust Fund on Dec. 17. A few days later, on Dec. 22, a second withdrawal for $35,000 was made without the bank identifying the authorizing agent on than 'client".
"…Eggleston then provided a personal story of how he had found $80 in the pocket of a coat he had not worn for some time. 'I went and told everybody about it. And you, Mr. Walker, find $465,000 and you don't tell anyone."

"He added: ...'The appearance of impropriety is impropriety. You have to be careful."
"The $500,000 drawdown from the Trust Fund meant selling a certificate of deposit before its maturity date, causing the city to pay a $10,000 penalty for early withdrawal".
