Tyrone's Forensic AuditYou can’t limit an Audit if there’s corruption in the government. There’s no telling what’s gone on in Tyrone over the last decade. Just yesterday its come to light that Barry Amos spent an estimated $30,000 for a state of the art communication system for Town Hall in late 2006. That comes straight from the installer. He said Barry made decisions on the spot without concern for costs; and that was the 3rd system he had installed at Town Hall. Many questions must be answered. Who approved it? Council? Barry? The bid system limits purchases without authorization to $500 for incidentals. Where is it reflected in the 2006-07 budget? Why were some Tyrone businesses never called to bid on purchases? Why did Barry refuse to OK an updated phone system for the Police Dept? What was the necessity for such an expensive system. Can Smola, Lee, Letourneau and Valerie enlighten the citizens? Should not those 4 be questioned in connection with the Audit? Will the Town be liable for any wrong doing? Can the Town recoup unauthorized losses directly from guilty officials? Are there some revealing answers as to why there was so much secrecy at Town Hall? Let’s get that audit with subpoena powers going ASAP! I Watch's blog | login to post comments |
