Independent Auditor Fired For Finding Waste In Hurricane Sandy Funding

Independent Auditor Fired For Finding Waste In Hurricane Sandy Funding

Comments 0 Comment

So what to do about spending? They say vote the problem out, the American people will decide.

Does not work, we have become too corrupt, and the entire process is fixed.
A humble federal contractor finds abuse of taxpayers funds, and is promptly fired. And we have not even seen any of the $60 Billion appropriated last week. I live in the west so Sandy did not affect me, but this is what we get for our tax dollars????
I fear we have no other choice. Prepare for the reckoning.

No good deed goes unpunished in New York: the state has abruptly cut off a contract with the independent auditor who found that the state had been wasting federal money meant to be spent on Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts.

“I didn’t believe I did anything to be escorted off the premises,” Sadowski told the Times Union. “I wasn’t trying to get back at anybody or get anybody in trouble.” But Sadowski said he believed he was fired for finding the waste. “I was relieved of my duties because I identified these problems,” he said.

He also could not find the location of $1 million in kosher meals bought for Sandy victims and was directly told to stop looking into that expense. Sadowski said that the department had “lost accountability” of the meals.

State officials say that Sadowski exceeded his authority by conducting an audit, but Sadowski felt that part of his procurement job included accounting for and tracking the expenditures.

Sadowski charged the state under $6,000 for his work.

A Nod To Breitbart for the article.

Obama Golfing in Hawaii With Pal Arrested in Prostitution Sting

 HONOLULU, Hawaii — Taking a break from the fiscal cliff negotiations, President Obama is spending the first day of his holiday vacation golfing with friends and aides, including longtime pal Bobby Titcomb, who was arrested last year on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute.

 

So what of his predecessor George Bush –

Bush Quits Golfing

President Bush said yesterday that he gave up golfing in 2003. “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” Bush said in a White House interview with the Politico. “I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” read more…

 

Directive #4

Directive #4

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

So who decides the categories? Eric Holder?

What if you are a blogger that has called out Obama for being a shitty choice for President of the United States. Or perhaps you have spoke up about defending the Second Amendment by not going along with unconstitutional laws. Does that make you a “Dangerous Person” as defined in the open ended directive.
Just sayin.

The Opportunity Of Tragedy

I watched Obama lay out his new gun control “actions” today. To any uninformed individual you would think that the directives are a perfectly normal reaction to a horrific tragedy that was Newtown. The ignorant masses will claim “this is our leader at his finest”. A tragedy happens, our dear leader comforts the victims, calmly reflects on a resolution, and then acts on his conclusions. What a great man.

What a bunch of crap. Obama has a blueprint that has placed him in positions of power and he uses it to perfection. That blueprint involves placing his opponents in lose/lose situations. Most rational common sense people understand that any new gun control measure will do little or nothing to stop a madman intent on killing. Yet Obama seizes on the opportunity of tragedy. Same thing he did with Gabby Giffords (remember the pep rally in Tuscon), same thing he did with Hurricane Sandy, and the BP oil spill to name a few “opportunities” for the purpose of pushing his agenda.

This demonizing is very effective and he follows the same routine, hold a press briefing about how terrible the situation is, measure up his opponent’s position, and then go on TV telling the American public his opponent hates old people, dogs, and children. If seniors lose their medicare, it is the republicans fault. If gun control measures are not passed by congress, it is the right-wing extremist who don’t care for the children. If we don’t pass these new environmental regulations, republicans don’t care about the environment, dogs could die. His penchant for blaming Republicans for whatever ills are currently facing the nation is very effective, no matter how transparent.

And when he is saddled with the blame, all we get is crickets. Benghazi? Fast & Furious? Solyndra?  No press briefings now because his finger-pointing is in the mirror. Now you get late friday document dumps, a sick or injured Secretary of State, executive orders shielding an Attorney General. You don’t see him out in front with his fist in the air demanding answers with the urgency he showed on gun control. He cowers in the White House surrounded by attorneys directing him on how best to cover his ass. What a sad man. And what a sad excuse for a President.

Americans Can’t Have Assault Weapons But We Can Arm Terrorists?

Americans Can’t Have Assault Weapons But We Can Arm Terrorists?

So let me get this straight. Obama and his minions are relentlessly pursuing some form of gun control for America. The same administration who has supplied weapons to the Arab Spring for whatever rebellion they decide will be a good idea this week. It won’t be long before a majority of terrorists factions will be better armed than most small countries.
Then you give Egypt F-16’s and Abram A1 Tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood? And you want to arm Syrian rebels?
What could possibly go wrong? I am sure Israel isn’t to thrilled.

…for the reason government at all levels need to be separated from unions. If these people in New York can’t see the fleecing of the taxpayer in this one instance, then surely we have passed the tipping point.

How in the world can you justify $6,900.00 per student for bus transportation? Administrators, buses, fuel, and the drivers themselves most assuredly have a cost associated with them, but 1.1 billion per year? This is bus transportation for school kids! And this kind of thing happens at all levels of government when dealing with the unions.
I read somewhere last year that union custodians in New York make more than the teachers. I think the politicians need to be riding the short bus to economics 101.

New York City Schools Spend $6,900 Per Student – on Bus Transportation!

Government schools are an expensive endeavor, especially when union labor and no-bid contracts are involved.

The New York City Department of Education has been catching heat from transportation unions lately over a decision to solicit bids for private transportation services in an effort to curtail runaway costs.

The district has not sought “significant” bids for student transportation services in 33 years. That means it’s probably been using the same companies for years, without competitive bids to naturally control rising costs.

And those costs are increased every year because the companies use high-paid union drivers.

In response to the union criticism, the DOE recently issued a “School Bus Bids FAQ” which makes a staggering admission: the city spends $6,900 per student (for a total of $1.1 billion) per year for bus transportation.

In a 180 day school year, that’s $38.33 per student a day. At that rate it might be more cost-effective for the school system to distribute vouchers for kids to take taxis.

Bob Owens poses an interesting question. Why are we fighting to keep the weapons the government has allowed us to have? Why not fight to get back the weapons that they unconstitutionally banned? Why put up with ANY registration at all? He makes a very valid point. Worth the read.
Simply said, fight fire with fire, start demanding more instead of begging for the right to keep what we already own or would like to own.

 “If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” (Samuel Adams, 1780)
