The hotline was overseen by Jennifer Loew, then a Metro employee.

But by 2019, as The Times previously reported, Loew was starting to run into trouble at work.

A few weeks later, court records show Loew began alleging corruption at Metro — and she focused her claims on the Peace Over Violence contracts, which she said had been awarded in return for $2,000 Giggans donated to Kuehl’s campaign in 2013 and 2014.

Metro staff, Loew said, pushed the deals forward to stay in Kuehl’s good graces.

First, Loew asked Metro’s inspector general to investigate.
