Sweetwater school board supporters and detractors show in court
This is not the end. It's going on all over the state, all over the US and Canada and beyond. A systematic siphoning off of the public construction dollar, with certain manufacturers specifically targeting schools. As an architect I stumbled onto it working for UCSF and got fired for going to the FBI about it 16 years and two weeks ago. Had something been done and not repeatedly squashed on every level except for the California State Auditor, who is not allowed to audit or investigate the Dept. of Education - K through 12 and over 40% of the state budget - the state would have saved $500 million a year in the one product area I reported (and there are more!). In contrast, the Dept. of Education in my home state (Georgia) stopped the bidding side of the scam (not purchasing side - yet) in - get this - 2-1/2 weeks. TOO many politicians from the lowest boards and levels have been dirtied and are controlled here in California. Getting it?— January 30, 2013 9:52 p.m.
