Adam Probolksy highlights Jeff Galloway’s recent questioning a Great Park staff over millions in dollars in billing. Adam wrote:
Finance Commissioner Jeffrey Lalloway expressed concern over the vague nature of contractor time sheets and invoices saying, “We could have overpaid by millions of dollars. I want to make sure the city got what we paid for.” Some invoices had no explanation at all for full eight-hour days or 40-hour weeks. The auditor even said he could not determine whether individual contractors double-billed for their time. Morgan explained, “On an hour by hour basis I cannot tell you what that individual did when they put down ‘planning’.”
Every time I have pried into Great Park invoicing I have found egregious billing and poor controls. Good for Jeff for shining a light on this cesspool of money and influence, and good for Adam for using his regular column to help Jeff get the word out.
Great. Paragon of virtue, Adam Probolksy, who is dating Desiree Mouzoon of current events infamy in the ongoing Hackerman/Duvall escapades: http://orangejuiceblog.com/2009/10/the-ackermans-get-snared-in-mike-duvalls-latest-drippy-mess/#comments
is shilling for the Campbell camp by showcasing an “auditor” set up by the Irvine council MINORITY Christina Shea and Steven Choi to obstruct Great Park progress. By Probolsky’s own admission: It’s easy to see why Lalloway, who is appointed by a member of the City Council minority, would want to make political hay out of this situation…
Shea and Choi are typical G- NO -P ‘ers who are constantly trying to stop the federal stimulus money from becoming REAL jobs in OC. It is projected that over 6.5k jobs will be CREATED by the Great Park, once it is underway.
This is a non-story of political proportions. Adam’s not giving the dish… sloppy seconds, perhaps….. but he’s only served up crap, so far.
