Hey, everyone is good at something!
It looks like we can add another skill to Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly’s public money squandering resume. As previously reported here, not only does Daly excel at wasting public money and doling out jobs to his contributor’s relatives, it appears that he also hands out no-bid contracts to campaign contributors as well. It turns out that the contracts are more of what we’re used to: highly questionable and unaudited relationships, and of course, ultimate failure.
Get a load of this one.
Between 2002 and 2007, Christopher Townsend, who is the president of Townsend Public Affairs, contributed a total of $2600 to Tom Daly’s campaigns. During this period, Townsend was awarded two $60,000 no-bid contracts for “consulting services.” Townsend was awarded these contracts without bidding because of their supposed know-how in obtaining grants from the California Cultural Historical Endowment. What for, you ask?
I can’t believe Tom Daly is wasting taxpayers money and no newspaper have said one word about his actions.
He gives contract and jobs to friends who donates to his campaigned. This is unacceptable.
Nick Berardino where is your bullhorn? Is it broken or you just proctecting Tom Daly.
I pay my union dues and this is pathethic. The union members needs to know how you are proctecting Tom Daly. Step up to the plate and do something about Tom Daly overspending taxpayers money while County employees are loosing jobs and taking furloughs.
The Board of Supervisors need to step in and reprimand Tom Daly for lying and embarassing them.
OC Register stoping covering up for Tom Daly. You guys are a newspaper so do your job and cover the news!!!!
One thing we can say about the Orange County register, they will not cover the issues and corruption that is going on here in this County.
For months, OCR had pictures and a three-page story every day about a murderer with dredlocks. Forget county and local news.
When OCR sells the furniture and closes the doors, no one will notice.
