🤣😂 THE TRUTH ABOUT "GILBERT TRUTH" 🤣😂
Gilbert Town Council Incumbents fall short on providing the facts... again!
In a desperate attempt to salvage their campaigns, Bongiovanni and Torgeson made a website that tries to counter the FACTS that I share and discuss on this site. While I provide the full documentation to support every statement I make, they only say "because we say so" as the factual basis for their claims.
Gilbert Councilmember Allegedly Doxxed Mom Seeking Justice for Her Daughter

I Was Doxxed By A Gilbert Councilmember
It is with significant anger and frustration that I address what has unfolded over the past week. Documents related to my criminal complaint with the Arizona Attorney General against the Town of Gilbert were obtained and published online by Gilbert Councilmember Jim Torgeson. Torgeson then directed people to “Please Share" the information. These actions violated my privacy and jeopardized the safety of me and my family.
Even more disturbing is the apparent involvement of Councilmember Chuck Bongiovanni and Gilbert Town Council candidate Joel Coen, in what appears to have been a coordinated effort to belittle the significance of this investigation, undermine its integrity, and influence the outcome of the Gilbert Town Council election.
I believe the involvement goes beyond these individuals to include Town of Gilbert officials, including the Gilbert Town Attorney's Office and the Gilbert Police Department. The release of these documents immediately followed the announcement that Joel Coen, Chuck Bongiovanni, and Jim Torgeson had received campaign endorsements from the Gilbert Police Leadership Association (GPLA).
I am not a political candidate. I am a mother fighting for justice for my daughter. I have worked diligently to protect the safety of my family and to ensure that the ongoing investigation involving the Town of Gilbert is not compromised. My intention in initially coming forward was to correct misinformation about the investigation that was being disseminated by Town officials including Councilmembers Chuck Bongiovanni and Jim Torgeson. The only conclusion that I can come to is that these actions were taken against me for the purpose of harassing, intimidating, and coercing me into withdrawing my complaint against the Town.
I am not alone in believing that the Town of Gilbert, with the help of members of the Gilbert Town Council, has engaged in a widespread cover-up of misconduct and other fraudulent schemes involving Town officials, both of which I believe are the subject of ongoing investigations. The conduct of the Town of Gilbert and the Gilbert Police Department under the leadership of Chief Michael Soelberg has prompted numerous calls for investigations, as well as calls for the immediate resignation or termination of those believed to be responsible.
Enough is enough!

Town of Gilbert Investigation by Attorney General
The following statement was posted online on July 3, 2026, and is used with permission:
My name is Charisia Arnold. I am a victim in a criminal investigation against the Town of Gilbert. I can confirm that the Town of Gilbert is currently under investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's Criminal Division, Special Investigations Section (SIS), for FRAUDULENT SCHEMES AND ARTIFICES, a Class 2 felony (ARS § 13-2310).
The "heavily redacted letter" referred to in a public statement is addressed to me and was posted on social media after appropriate redactions were made. The letter was published to address misinformation regarding the status of a criminal investigation. My intent was to protect my privacy and minimize the harassment that has occurred during the course of this investigation, while being as forthcoming as possible with the residents of Gilbert.
I continue to be in communication with the AG’s Office. Records and information are being to investigators. In one of my emails with the AG dated June 12, 2026, I received the response Gilbert is “not being cooperative.”
Contrary to recent rumors, the criminal investigation against the Town of Gilbert is ongoing.
The statements being pushed by Councilmember Chuck Bongiovanni and Councilmember Jim Torgeson are false, factually inaccurate, and misleading. The statements also seem to be made with the intent to harass witnesses, interfere with ongoing investigations, and influence the outcome of the upcoming election. I believe Gilbert Police is involved with this scheme as well.
While I have tried to refrain from making specific public statements, I believe the behavior of Councilmember Torgeson and Councilmember Bongiovanni has crossed the line of both ethical and legal standards.
I believe there are serious concerns within the Town of Gilbert that warrant further investigation, possibly including the involvement by the FBI, DPS, and the DOJ.
I will continue to demand transparency, accountability, and justice for the many victims and residents who have been ignored by cover-up. There is no room for corruption in Gilbert!

Water Meter Audit - Final Report REVIEW
"No Major Problems" found - Are you sure??
The Water Meter Audit Final Report was provided to the public last week. I will do a complete breakdown of the results and identify what was right, what was wrong, and what was not reported or even audited.
For now, I want to share a summary of of a residents' experience that WAS NOT captured in the Audit. This is just one of several experiences. While I believe that the audit was mostly conducted well, I am concerned that the audit parameters did not include areas of known deficiencies.
I have also recently received thousands of emails that show that the town knew of metering issues for months before going onine with the new billing system. It seemed like there was a lot of chaos for several months. More to follow as I break down the report.
Here is a summary of what happened to Amy. I also included the check that was signed by Mayor Anderson to reimburse her for the "configuration" problem. Sounds like a "major problem" to me. This isn't the only story like this.
What do you think?
Amy Bejarano is a Gilbert resident who has addressed the Town Council on multiple occasions regarding significant "inconsistencies and errors in her water utility billing and meter readings."
Her recorded interactions with the Town include the following:
Billing and Meter Inaccuracies: In October 2025, she reported that a Town employee named Tony investigated her concerns and discovered her meter's "radio was not reading correctly." Despite this finding, she stated that when her request for a bill adjustment was escalated to a supervisor, the Town "refused to adjust the bill."
Long-term Usage Discrepancies: During the October 28, 2025, meeting, she provided the Council with usage data from her meter spanning from **March 2023 to September 2025.** She highlighted that the Town’s records were inconsistent, first claiming her meter number had changed and then later confirming it had stayed the same.
Concerns over "Make-up" Billing: Bejarano expressed frustration that her bills were not being read properly in real-time and that the Town’s solution was to "make up for it on later bills," which she felt was an inadequate response to the technical errors she had identified.
Her testimony was part of a broader wave of resident complaints regarding the rollout of new water rates and the accuracy of the Town's automated metering infrastructure (AMI) during late 2025 and early 2026.
