The money in traffic tickets is just wacky conspiracy theory... right?
Here I go again... spreading wacky conspiracy theory..... http://www.examiner.com/a-620012~Fir...affic_bid.html <...> WASHINGTON - The Texas company under fire in the District for allegedly failing to maintain traffic-enforcement cameras and parking meters contributed thousands of dollars last year to political campaigns and travel by D.C. leaders, at the same time negotiating new deals with the city, an Examiner investigation found. Affiliated Computer Services laid out more than $20,000 in 2006, including a $10,600 contribution to last summer.s privately underwritten trade mission to Africa organized by then-Mayor Anthony Williams. City officials deny they were influenced by the money. But government watchdogs aren.t convinced. <...> ---------------------------------- I'm just wacky thinking that these payments had any effect on the city's elected offfice holders... ACS probably was just being friendly, expecting nothing in return. It's just my paranoia that makes me think they were buying influence.... *snort* ACS only made millions of dollars from this... what's a few grand kicked back to its friends in government? |
