The council's Public Safety Committee agreed to delay making a formal recommendation to the council for two weeks so that Police Chief Willie L. Williams Willie L.

The councilwoman said her foremost concern is that the LAPD has not clearly stated whether the merger would be good for the LAPD and the citizens it protects. A report by the chief legislative analyst and city administrative officer said that insufficient information has been provided to allow them to conclude the merger should go forward. ``A more substantial fiscal analysis is required for the council to make a determination of public benefit,'' the two officials wrote. Williams said he has ``serious questions'' and asked for more time to address the concerns. ?13Daily News Ex-executive pleads guilty to tax evasion The process whereby a person, through commission of Fraud, unlawfully pays less tax than the law mandates.
