The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing a formal complaint alleging misuse of a City of Compton credit card and potential campaign finance violations by Councilman Andre Spicer. The complaint followed the release of 2025 city credit card statements and community concerns raised at council meetings. The DA has confirmed the matter is under review, with no findings or charges announced, while campaign finance issues are typically overseen by the FPPC.

The California State Auditor’s October 2025 report finds that although Compton has made progress in infrastructure planning, financial reporting, and purchasing reforms, it remains a high-risk city. Ongoing failures in governance, competitive hiring, budgeting, and long-term planning continue to weaken stability. Public safety risks linked to water reliability, street conditions, fire overtime, and unfinished sewer projects remain unresolved.
