The Citytime Cover Up Falls Apart
"We were told specifically when other City officials visited us NOT to "bad" mouth the project...we all along with management KNEW very well this was going to be a complete failure." Whistleblower in 2009
Federal investigators arrested another central figure in their widening inquiry into the city’s troubled automated payroll project. Gerard Denault, a former executive with Science Applications International Corporation, the company overseeing CityTime, was charged with receiving over $5 million in kickbacks for his work as the project’s senior manager. Federal-court papers say Denault's thievery persisted despite an anonymous whistleblower's attempt to alert the project's prime contractor With Arrest, Criticism for Payroll Project Grows (NYT) * CityTime 'kickbacks' Project boss pocketed $5.6M: feds(NYP) * CityTime Case Expands With Another Arrest(WSJ) * Former CityTime Manager Out On $1M Bail (NY1) * Ex-Payroll Consultant Arrested in CityTime Scandal (WNYC)

City Computer Manager funnel $$$ Into Company He Owned in India
 |
| Indian Computer Imputers |
According to the complaint, Mr. Denault had worked as CityTime’s program manager since 2003 and had perpetrated a kickback scheme for much of his involvement. He urged his employer to hire a New Jersey company, TechnoDyne, L.L.C., as the project’s main information technology subcontractor. TechnoDyne received some $450 million out of $600 million that was paid to Science Applications International and funneled $5.6 million to a sham consulting company, said to have been based in India, that Mr. Denault actually owned.

Why Was IG Inspector Moved From the Department of Finance?
Is the City's Department of Investigation Involved in the Cover Up?
Gia Morris was the Inspector General at the City Finance Dept., her job was to investigate and corruption over Citytime....Well, a few months ago she was quietly left her position and has now re-appeared as an Assistant Commissioner in the NYC Department of Correction. If this is a case like the SEC investigators in the Madoff case who did not do their job, why give her another city position? Queens Crap Comments

Bloomberg has long defended the project’s goal of modernizing an antiquated & largely paper-based system
A Warning Ignored By the Mayor and DOI
How did DOI Miss this CNN I Report in 2009 on CityTime and their Corrupt Managers?
The managers rake in hundereds of $$$ for themselves and produce little in return except a faltering system. The project is a total waste and will NOT accomplish the goal to automate all 80+ agencies. They know it and so do many of the consultants. I would suggest that the media contact the NYC Payroll department and obtain more information on "CityTime". You will be surprised to discover what lies beneath the covers.
Why Are the Newspapers and Mayoral Candidates Not Calling for An Independent Knapp Style Investigation of the Ticket Fixing Case?
 |
| Serpico Knapp Hearing |
How far does the fixing go beyond killing a ticket? Are we talking about tampering with evidence? We do not know because the investigation is going on in secret. This and the rape verdict will have an effect on the public support of the NYPD.
Mayor Bloomberg rants at ticket fixing cops, calls it black eye for the NYPD
Up to 40 cops, including union officials, could be indicted for fixing tickets, some in exchange for money or gifts, sources said. Another 100 or so officers could face departmental charges.

How About the Anthony Seminerio Ethic Bill
Albany Needs Ethics Reform — Now Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been in office five months, and we’re still waiting for an ethics reform bill. (NYT Ed)
Albany More Corrupt Coming?
Anyone who doubts the need for Gov. Cuomo’s ethics overhaul should consider some patently corrupt new legislation moving ahead in the Assembly.
The bills, as The Post reported Tuesday, seem tailor-made to enrich medical-malpractice attorneys and their clients (at everyone else’s expense). Yet lawmakers don’t have to disclose whether they do malpractice work or who their clients are — so the public has no idea if they personally will benefit from the bill.(NYP)
