The media has missed a big piece of this story. Interact had the State of IN Quantity Purchase Agreement (QPA) for CAD/RMS software. The prospect of State police and every jurisdiction running the software being able to easily share information is not just desirable but some would argue critical. At the outset, there were no bad guys here. Burning $10Mill without enough to show for it is simply bad project management stemming from poor leadership.

Ballard

How many million for the failed INTERact software. $10 million
How many million for the ROC?
How many million for the parking meters?
How many million for the failed Public Safety Facility? $12 million.
How many million for electric cars?

Add to this list and keep the thread going.

And Chief Riggs had the option to end this contract in its infancy and let it ride. Now, Riggs is creating (haveing created) a crisis of confidence. And he is the hero riding in on his horse. I hope his data (data driven policing) can lock people up and respond to 911 calls.

Vaughn's interest? Because he and Joe Loftus brought us this deal before he joined the Mayor's Office. From there, Defacto Mayor Loftus continued his representation of Inter Act. And don't forget, Inter Act was paid $8 million upfront for something they never had and everyone knew it. Start digging....

Goes without saying that the Indianapolis political establishment is a hotbed of greed and incompetence. It's too bad more can't be said of the mid-level political operatives who bend over backwards to facilitate these messes. They survive due to their relative anonymity. It's best just to move.

Ya' all forgot the Cricket debacle, how much did that cost the taxpayers?

Inter Act could not honor their contract and promises. Make them honor the contact or take them to court. There were 100 plus public safety in numerous meetings that heard them.

What a pity the Chicago Tribune or Sun Times cannot send a team of Reporters here. They would be working over time to uncover and expose the all the Crony-Capitalist Deals.

Were our underpaid council members asleep at the switch again when this deal got approved?

Mayor Ballard signed off on the deal. He's the man at the top who has supposedly been in charge for the past 8 years. I don't blame Straub. The buck stops at Ballard's desk.

Straub. The horrible nightmare that keeps visiting us, over and over. Somebody indict him and send a couple of state troopers over to Spokane to bring him back here for some justice, because this guy has cost taxpayers as much money as Durham bilked from Indianapolis residents, and he ought to be in jail.
