[lbo-talk] in NYC school "reform", responsible = corrupt?

[John Wesley]

Yes, it's always amazing how much more these private contractors seem to rake in 
from the taxpayers when compared to what is paid to those "overpaid" full-time 
public workers.

It happens every time that public bodies "privatize" their IT ssytems - 
inevitably the same waste, overruns, mistakes, glitches, and fraud.

Consultant to the Schools Stole Millions, Officials Say
though, that's not the half of it: "Mr. Lanham, who was being paid $200,000
a year by the city, used layers of contractors and subcontractors to hide
his scheme, and each of them profited a little from it, according to the
federal complaint."  And it appears that Verizon and IBM overbilled the
Dept. of Ed on top of being part of the scam...
