WILL THEY NEVER LEARN

Somehow, someway we have to get the message to public officials, no matter what level they serve, that the American people demand integrity from all of them. There is a story in the SACBEE talking about an ex-school official facing arrest. The headline says "Conflict of interest by former Natomas administrator alleged." What did he do?
Well, it seems this guy owned a consulting firm. In January 2004, when he took a job with the Natomas School District to head up new school construction, he and the Natomas School superintendent said that he had divested completely from the consulting firm. Well, the district attorney's office said not exactly. He did sell the company to his partner, but agreed to take payments over time, and during this period steered no-bid contracts worth $433,900 to the company he founded.
