SACRAMENTO - In the wake of the Oracle software contract debacle, the state auditor on Wednesday blasted the Davis administration for shoddy oversight that allowed agencies to abuse the system by pushing purchases through quickly, but not necessarily for the best value.

The good cpas, auditors and CFO's in California are outraged about the behind the door crappola that has been done since Davis became governor.

I posted their comments earlier this week on another thread.

Florez called on the attorney general Wednesday to investigate......the role of the former director of e-government, Arun Baheti, and Vin Patel, a technology specialist, whom he accused of conflicts of interest. Baheti and Patel were largely behind the project that contracted with, among others, BroadVision in Redwood City, which employed Patel's brother, and Verity in Sunnyvale, which employed Baheti's brother-in-law.
