An aide to Philly’s new sheriff says he questioned ‘slush fund’ spending and she fired him Chris Brennan, The Philadelphia Inquirer © MICHAEL BRYANT/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Newly sworn in Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal, left, after taking the oath of office at inauguration ceremonies held at the Met Philadelphia on Jan. 6, 2020. A top aide to new Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal said he was fired and escorted out of the office by armed deputies after raising concerns about controversial spending practices that have dogged the agency for years. Brett Mandel, who lasted just five weeks as Bilal’s chief financial officer, said her first order of business was to continue spending with little budgetary planning or oversight. She spent out of a multimillion-dollar fund of money from fees collected by the office for sheriff’s sales, serving writs, and other duties, Mandel said, describing it as a “slush fund.”
