Across the board -- not just CityTime there have been arrests and there will be a lot more if people are doing their job and that would also include NYC gov employees as well. Karen Shaffer, assist. commissioner aging got caught just like consultants lying on her timesheet CityTime stole $22,000 she stole and was not fired but demoted according to The New York Times article.
Well Karen Shaffer you need to be fired but first repay the tax payers of New York.

First as we approach more battles to save fire houses, schools and every service for kids to seniors possible my question is when can we start suing to get our money back and no. 1 is SAIC who to date has handed back 2.4 million dollars but that is just not enough for all the billing they did for over a decade that was massively inflated and for below par to crappy or no work at all is my guess and opinion based on what I have read and heard but SAIC is not the only company so stay tuned.
I googled SAIC Pimp and the entire page is all my YouTubes and blog postings.
Before I give you just one SAIC Pimp rewind...a reminder of the corrupt SAIC deal that almost was with the MTA and we need to look at who at the MTA was pushing for the SAIC deal and was willing to ignore our comptroller in Albany DiNapoli when he put the kibosh on the deal. Hmmm, Mark Page, Joel Bondy’s boss and deputy mayor Patricia Harris (from Koch’s administration that also had massive corruption come out the 3rd term -- her husband like Page was appointed to MTA board by guess who? Mike Bloomberg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Harris Look at her Wiki page and see her son is one of the heads of IT and I was told Mike Bloomberg’s sister’s best friend is also a head of IT. Cosy as is Harris serving 2 third term mayors mired in corruption that still think they are rock stars and can get away with it because most people don’t seem to care unless the money is directly stolen out of their wallet. Also note The Tax Payer’s Titanic my name for CityTime was run out of NYC gov office of payroll and not IT information technology. I can’t help but wonder if we had someone other than the mayor’s pets as head of IT if they would have been the whistle blowers and demanded the termination and money refunded CityTime?
Greg Mocker of WPIX News revealed that the MTA made a deal with SAIC famous for over-rides and not just with us. They over-rided NYC gov budget by almost 700 million dollars but SAIC also did the same thing to the FBI although at the time SAIC tried to blame the FBI as SAIC tried to deflect blame re: CityTime but saying it was flawed. I started making YouTubes and blog postings to slamming SAIC so they ran to Crains and did damage control. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/17/AR2006081701485.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/05/AR2005060501213.html SAIC enjoys billing to the brim on troubled software. SAIC fired whistle blower Mathew Patton. In a Village Voice article we are told that SAIC employees that went to SAIC with their concerns re: CityTime were fired. I believe 3 people and we are not given their names.
How much money can we get back from SAIC as in sue SAIC and when. There are more indictments to come and remember there were many consultants and companies besides SAIC. Do not forget the lobbyists as well and how about the people in NYC gov. that were pimping for SAIC?
Reminder Mike Bloomberg tried to push a full renewal of SAIC and CityTime and I was part of a group that fought that tooth and nail. I even set up the channel Bloomberg No City Time.
Now we know from looking back that SAIC screwed the FBI and NYC Gov. and was set to do the same to the MTA in my opinion.

I emailed with Juan Gonzalez and he told me I was wrong. I disagreed with him. Anything of value CityTime SAIC owned or should I say controlled like a car SAIC owned the motor. Proof -- SAIC would give NYC gov a percentage for deal would.
I was wrong Spherion is not a subsidiary but clearly acted as if Spherion was a subsidiary and the Spherion consultants stole money, over billed for work that was all bull .... and allowed SAIC to continue stealing, billing for work that was also bull.
SAIC wanted life time maintenance and did not want to teach us ever how to maintain the system ourself.
Just a reminder, we had AutoTime which NYC gov workers created and we need how to maintain and did but Rudy took away AutoTime and set us up to be raped and robbed in what might be one of the largest White Collar crimes NYC gov and I thought the slush fund investigations with NYC council were scandalous.
I have an entire series on SAIC who is your pimp ....more posts later.
p.s. Bloomberg Quinn Corrupt City Hall.... I am part of a group waiting for the slush fund investigation to be brought to the public attention and we are hoping for arrests rather than just millions in legal bills to pay for people working in NYC gov.
