Seems like CityTime...is a good reason for striking NYC bus drivers to be upset?
"Demanding a new competitive bidding process for school bus contractors while defenestrating job security for experienced drivers is ultimately a gloss for the Mayor’s free-spending contracting policies, which have resulted in such cost overruns as the CityTime scandal (costing more than $600 million) and the Emergency Communications Transformation Program (costing more than $250 million). The city’s largest municipal union, AFSCME District Council 37, has been exposing the details of Bloomberg’s contracting policies, to (unfortunately) little media attention."
The above article way over on the figures -- the over-runs shocking
Remember SAIC and MTA dirty deal and MTA insisted they wanted SAIC because SAIC gave them the lowest bid? The fix was in. Rudy's deputy mayors lobbyists for SAIC, Mike put his puppets including money man Mark Page who green lighted all the corrupt mega bucks over runs including one billion dollars on the 2 billion 911 system....all to push in a fixed bid not an honest competitive bid....
nycaps over 277 million over-run, FDNY Wireless 14 mill over run to raytheon
All fraudsters, smoke and mirrors.....
Wake up New Yorkers?
