With the intention to bring retrospection, introspection, joy & celebration, while paying homage to the pioneers of R&B, funk, soul & the culture that raised me, #Retrospect marks my 10th studio album, tapping into so many layers of my grown woman era & I’m having the time of life in it. Sending gratitude to my production partner @myguymars & all artists, creatives & believers involved in the creation & execution of this body of work.🙏🏽💥 Presenting #Retrospect for your GRAMMY® consideration at the 69th Annual @grammys. 🎶🎨🌟

Residents Report Mayor Was Warned About Registered S*x Offender Connected to $157,000 Manteca City Contract

At the center is Mayor Singh’s alleged friend, Robert Wolfe, a co-owner of Manteca Property Services, a company contracted to remove homeless encampments and perform cleanup services in parks and other public areas.

Wolfe was convicted in 2009 of felony heinous acts against a ch*ld under 14. He served time in state prison and was released in 2016. Wolfe is listed on California’s s*x offender registry.

Wolfe is a co-owner of the company alongside his wife. Manteca Property Services has performed contracted cleanup work for the City since December 2023, with its most recent $157,000 contract approved by the City Council in March 2026.

Following public outrage, the City suspended the contract. But a potentially more consequential question remains:

Did Mayor Gary Singh know about Wolfe’s criminal history before voting on his contract?

Residents speaking at the October 6 Council meeting said they had previously warned Singh that Wolfe was a registered s*x offender.

We submitted a formal inquiry to both Singh and City Manager Toni Lundgren, asking when Singh first learned about Wolfe’s convictions.

Only Lundgren responded.

Singh separately addressed the controversy on social media, issuing a public apology and acknowledging shortcomings in the City’s handling of the matter stating, “We should have done better. And we will.”

However, neither his public statements nor Lundgren’s written response answered the questions concerning his prior knowledge.

In her written response Lundgren maintained that the City complied with applicable law. “The City followed the law when it awarded this contract,” she wrote.

She acknowledged that legal compliance might not be sufficient. “Our community has told us the law isn’t enough, and I agree,” Lundgren wrote.

Mayoral challenger Jacob Naven called for an independent investigation into the City’s procurement practices. “Suspending a single contract after public outcry is a reactive band-aid on a systemic failure,” he stated.

But promises of future reforms do not establish whether the mayor knew and when.

Birthdays don’t have to be happy to be honest.
Today I’m turning 24, the age my brother was. If your birthday brings up something hard too, you’re not doing it wrong. 🤍
