Computer scam?
Technology spending always seems to go awry - now it’s the provincial MPAC losing control. Is it because it’s government or because it’s computers, where no-one really understands the equipment or the scope of the projects?
An anonymous letter to Richards and MPAC’s board of directors warned of out-of-control spending in the IPS project, which began in 2002 with a budget of $3 million-to-$5 million and cost $7.3 million in 2003. The leaked letter alleges a bill of $20 million to-$25 million by the end of 2004.
Don’t get me started on MPAC. Why we pay muni taxes based on the value of our house is beyond me.
