CityTime vs. AutoTime -- reads like It's a Wonderful life meets The Firm starring Tom Cruise

Way back when NYC had AutoTime and it worked.  AutoTime was designed by city workers and owned by the city.

So why would Rudy bring in Maximus.  It cost way too much money and it did not work! Maximus like CityTime bringing SAIC was about hand washing and making people rich -- by stealing from the tax payers...maybe stealing is too harsh a word but that is what it feels like.

Maximus was a warm up for CityTime.

If the city owns anything that is "CityTime" it is like owning a car minus the motor.  SAIC owns anything of value CityTime as in what drives the car but either way CityTime does not work and is as I originally dubbed it...CityTime is the tax payers Titanic.

Why oh why did NYC gov have to turn their backs on AutoTime which could have been expanded for a lot less money and sink so much tax payer money in to failed money guzzlers of tax payer money like Maximus and than CityTime?   Hand washing, kick backs and political gain.

Rudy opened the door to SAIC and than Mike took to SAIC like he was a crack cocaine addict and it is not hard to figure out why after reading the Vanity Fair piece.  http://m.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/03/spyagency200703
If you are overly ambitious and want to be a global player than it would be hard for the Rudy and Mike types to not yearn to be dealing with SAIC.
Reminder to look at http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-205164 from Feb. 2009 where an SAIC consultant is fingered for stealing but we continue to hear nothing of any actual SAIC wrong doing...unless over riding a budget by hundreds of millions of tax payer money feels wrong to any of you.
