FDOT Report: Feeney's Client, Yang Enterprises, Overbilled! Refund Demanded!
Report based on Investigation Initiated by Clint Curtis Complaints!
Chalk another one up to Curtis!The New Times Broward-Palm Beach, who two weeks ago reported on Clint Curtis and his sworn allegations that Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) and Florida software firm Yang Enterprises, Inc. (YEI) conspired to create vote-rigging software when Curtis worked at the company in 2000, has a follow-up today.
Their latest news item is based on the recently released report from the FL Inspector General's office at the Florida Dept. of Transporation (FDOT) where Curtis had initially made his complaints about both Feeney and YEI. The report was finally released this month after an investigation initiated by Curtis and another whistleblower at FDOT back in 2001. (The BRAD BLOG is currently examining the full report, and will have more on it in upcoming stories.)
From the New Times article...
Curtis charged that Yang Enterprises engaged in a pattern of dirty dealing, including intentionally overbilling the state on the company's contract with the Florida Department of Transportation. Curtis said that he heard Feeney, who was Yang's former lawyer and lobbyist, airily tell Yang, 'Bill them anything you like.' And Yang Enterprises did. A report by FDOT Investigations Manager Michael K. Bowen, released earlier this month, found $248,255 in questionable charges, and the state wants a refund....DEVELOPING...LINK: http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00001229.htm---
