It was only a crime if you didn’t get caught. Because if you got caught stealing from the taxpayers in Montgomery County- you could just resign and pay the money back. Do bank robbers get the same option? How about the “mugger” who robbed my tenant last week? We already know that CEOs like Mike [...]

How long would your business last with no printed prices? Can you imagine people going to a McDonald’s and ordering a Big Mac then getting a bill for $300 after you finish eating it? Or, you take your car into the shop for an oil change, and later get a bill for more than the [...]

Thank you to the readers who have thanked me for writing the last post, questioning why the newspaper goes hard at minor contract problems, but ignores the widespread graft, nepotism and cronyism by high-level officials in the county. In today’s Dayton Daily news it was reported that Brian Higgins and GSSP resigned the county contract. [...]

Where did the money go? Enron, AIG, MCSi, IMF Global. All massive failures, where the shareholders, pensioners, and even government operations who hold investment portfolios with our tax dollars were left holding the bag. While a few may have gone to jail, the fact is that the people who were robbed, weren’t made whole. And [...]

The circling of the wagons is mighty fast in Dayton. The moment one of the protected “League of extraordinary gentle women” looks to be in trouble, it’s quickly swept under the rug.

Teflon. A non-stick coating, applied to pans so food won’t stick. Teflon Status- a non-stick coating given certain people who aren’t held responsible for their actions in Dayton. County administrator Deborah Feldman is the queen of teflon, but don’t expect anything to change there. She’s still playing with our money, without any oversight from the [...]

Back on Feb. 14, 2008, the Dayton City Commission and the County ED/GE committee gave away $125K to an ad agency that claimed 19 employees at the time and an additional 15 during the next three years. I said then there were problems- in that a video edit suite doesn’t cost $125K- and the jobs [...]

No oversight on $46 Million? And, the FBI and the county are going after Raleigh Trammell for his little scrape?  Sounds like JFS director Christy Novell and County Administrator Deborah Feldman should be under investigation and on leave without pay until they understand that this is a major violation of the public trust and their [...]

Raleigh Trammell is an ex-con. A man convicted of welfare fraud. Been to prison. Comes back and somehow ends up administering welfare programs again? Uh, does this sound like a good idea? So when the FBI is called in to investigate the possibility that he, as Britney Spears says, “Oops, I did it again” should [...]
