5 March 2011 -In part five of Billions to Spend |http://lat.ms/eNdva7, their expose of the run-amok construction program at LACCD, LA Times reporters Paul Pringle, Gale Holland and Michael Finnegan open with:
A company co-owned by the vice president of a Los Angeles community college collected more than $500,000 for working on a public construction program that she oversaw on her campus, records and interviews show.
That is, gentle readers, a first-year-law-school definition of not apparent or potential but actual criminal conflict of interest - and an indictment of the individual named. This article and the previous four define malfeasance and wrongdoing and public misbehavior with the taxpayer’s money of a scale and scope demanding both outrage and immediate action. Subsequent ‘I see no problem with this’ e-mails only serve to identify co-conspirators. The allegation that the alleged culprit was fired as CFO from a LA area public university for fiscal impropriety enlarges the conspiracy.
If the new LACCD Inspector General – hired from the same pool of industry insiders named in previous articles - is not down at the District Attorney’s office requesting a grand jury investigation on Monday she should be turning in her resignation.
‘Both’ is an option!
