This petition is important, as it involves a matter of public trust and accountability. Over the past three years, Miss Carly Rice has received millions of dollars in funding, including $400,000 raised specifically to bring her building up to code. Despite this substantial financial support, her building remains non-compliant with city codes and the money seems to have vanished without any explanation.

We are demanding that Miss Carly Rice be required to file financial statements, a log of in-kind donations, audits, and 1099s. This will ensure transparency about where these funds have been used or misused. We also demand that the city act more aggressively on the code violations of her building.

Furthermore, there are serious concerns about health risks at this location. There have been accusations of needle exchanges and drug use still occurring at the site which could pose significant public health risks if true. We urge both the health department and Rockford Police Department to follow up on these allegations promptly.

The misuse of funds intended for public benefit is not just unethical; it's illegal. The potential health risks associated with unregulated needle exchanges add another layer of urgency to our demands for action.

Please join us in holding Miss Carly accountable for her actions and demanding greater oversight from our city officials by signing this petition today.
