A fresh batch of indictments for BribEry related to Public Schools construction. (Educating Kids In Nyc) The report found that it was costing $425 to $450 a square foot to build schools, almost three times the national average.
Aug'2007: this article about [Charles E Williams], now responsible for building US embassies, worked for New York City for awhile. Williams oversaw the building of the Dulles Greenway, completed in 1995, but he abruptly resigned from two other high-profile jobs - head of the $4 billion New York City School Construction Authority and then the Washington D C schools post - after being heavily criticized for poor management. He left the New York job after an audit found that he had given misleading information on the progress of projects he was overseeing. He left the D.C. job after an audit said he authorized shoddy contracting procedures and left the school system vulnerable to waste and fraud.
