SAIC at it again! John Liu prevented them from robbing the tax payers on CityTime so now SAIC wants to screw us with the MTA

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/10/13/2010-10-13_city_time.html


Wait a second....the MTA did lay-offs and is making cuts and now wants to hire SAIC, famous for trying to rob the tax payers of mega-millions with Mike Bloomberg's blessings until John Liu, Unions and activists like me said NO!!!!!!!!!!!   And we won a victory but SAIC with it's bad track record here in NYC is being picked to help the MTA and why?  Because SAIC gave the lowest figure but we all know SAIC will end up charging mega-bucks and with CityTime it still doesn't work!  


Do you smell a rat?  Is someone on the inside getting big pay-outs to force New Yorkers to be robbed by SAIC?   


I posted this on Juan Gonzalez's award winning news reporting:


Again superb award winning reporting by Juan Gonzalez. Super work and now if we could expose who on the "inside" is trying to shove SAIC down tax payers guts! SAIC has proven to New York tax payers that are only experts at guzzling mega-millions of tax payer's money! I will post a comment from Joel Bondy praising SAIC and telling us how he was keeping an eye on SAIC from a year ago in Ali Winston's article from City Liimits and Bondy failed.

From Ali Winston's powerful reporting on CityTime and also SAIC -- read this about Joel Bondy and in his own words.  Read her entire article:  http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2010/09/blog-post_7259.html

"OPA chief Bondy maintains that OPA is keeping a sharp eye on SAIC's performance. "There is a tremendous amount of focus, attention, and energy being put on managing SAIC's delivery of services," Bondy said. Mayor Bloomberg's office also expressed its confidence in SAIC. "SAIC is a large company that does a lot of business worldwide, and OPA vetted them appropriately at the time of their selection and found them responsible," said City Hall spokesperson Matt Kelly."


You have to read all of Juan Gonzalez's articles and I made YouTubes including a channel

Juan Gonzalez reports on a huge victory re: CityTme - John Liu orders fim to fix disastrous CityTime payroll system or ELSE!

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/09/29/2010-09-29_citytime_to_shape_up_controller_sez_liu_orders_firm_to_fix_disastrous_payroll_sy.html


"City Controller John Liu has won a huge victory for New Yorkers by finally shutting down the out-of-control CityTime spigot."

""New York City taxpayers are sick and tired of being milked by multibillion-dollar corporations for grossly overpriced and overdue projects," Liu said in a prepared statement.

This "signals a new era in city contracting," said Liu's spokeswoman Sharon Lee.

"There have been many problems with building CityTime," Bloomberg conceded in his own statement."



Read the entire article and here is my comment:

Great work by Liu! Wish we could get a credit back on all the money spent on this Tax Payer's Titanic but it looks like Liu has stopped the bleeding and madness Bloomberg allowed to go rampant! Juan Gonzalez deserves awards for bringing this news to the tax payers attention with consistency and excellence. Gonzalez stood alone like a lighthouse in the storm while other papers barely reported anything on this Orwellian Time Clock that doesn't work very well and was moving towards the billion dollar mark!!!!


Here is my posting early referring to The Wall Street Journal and I call it a mini-victory....
