Truth be told on truth dig...everyone...except Judge Daniels seem to think Mayor Bloomberg bears responsibility his strong resistance to public employees tenacity...aka couldn't do simple math 1 + 1 = we were robbed Mike Bloomberg pushed SAIC like a drug king pin pushes heroin and did Rudy.
Makes sense to the street subpoena Hizzoner. Bloomberg's testimony would shed important details. What's another detail? the prosecution already has 9,000,000 million details, should be a slam dunk?...yet the trial is spanning 2 months and not a peep from the courts house lately...
CityTime SAIC contract the fix was in --
no real competitive bidding like MTA SAIC deal fix was in until SAIC banned from NY State and City contracts.
Reminder Rudy Guiliani's guys deputy mayors turned lobbyists SAIC.
What of Valcich, Rose Gill Hearn, Bondy, Sal Salamone, jelly bean, TechnoDyne owners hiding in India and rumor has it Ariel also less than Koshor their role CityTime?
Fix was in -- ask Cy Vance re: Bloomberg role breaking campaign laws perjury Haggerty trial and cy Vance Preet Bharara see no evil including on 911 tech corruption.
"Even local governments have their boondoggles. Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s scheme to modernize New York’s payroll system, CityTime, ended up billing the city $700 million. Fortunately for New York residents, the union representing public employees was tenacious in working to expose the corruption involved in the contract for CityTime, in spite of strong resistance by the mayor. In the end, the U.S. attorney for Manhattan stepped in and the contractor agreed to pay back $500 million. Two hundred million dollars is still almost three times the $73 million original cost of the contract, and the cavalier overpayment of sums that constitute an almost tenfold cost increase make it clear that government officials cannot be trusted with private contracting."
