Refund Demanded!"},"content":{"rendered":"

The New Times Broward-Palm Beach<\/i>, who two weeks ago reported on Clint Curtis and his sworn allegations<\/a> that Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) and Florida software firm Yang Enterprises, Inc. (YEI) conspired to create vote-rigging software<\/a> when Curtis worked at the company in 2000, has a follow-up today<\/a>. (Scroll down to the fourth story, “Crazy Guy”).<\/p>\n

Their latest news item is based on the recently released report from the FL Inspector General’s office at the Florida Dept. of Transporation (FDOT) where Curtis had initially made his complaints about both Feeney and YEI. The report was finally released this month after an investigation initiated by Curtis and another whistleblower at FDOT back in 2001. (The BRAD BLOG<\/a> is currently examining the full report, and will have more on it in upcoming stories.)<\/p>\n

From the New Times<\/i> article<\/a>…<\/p>\n

The troubling charge of vote tampering has yet to be proved, of course, but almost everything else Curtis said about his former employer has been. Curtis charged that Yang Enterprises engaged in a pattern of dirty dealing, including intentionally overbilling the state on the company’s contract with the Florida Department of Transportation. Curtis said that he had heard Feeney, who was Yang’s former lawyer and lobbyist, airily tell Yang, “Bill them [FDOT] anything you like.” And Yang Enterprises did. A report by FDOT Investigations Manager Michael K. Bowen<\/b>, released earlier this month, found $248,255 in questionable charges, and the state wants a refund. <\/p>\n

Bowen also discovered that Curtis was correct when he told state authorities that Yang employed a Chinese spy who was given access to state and NASA data. A former consultant for Yang, Hai Lin “Henry” Nee<\/b> pleaded guilty in federal court last year after trying to ship Hellfire missile technology to China. <\/div>\n

The article also goes on to mention…<\/p>\n

Though no major South Florida news organizations have reported on Curtis’ charges, Tailpipe has an eerie feeling that we haven’t heard the last of them.<\/div>\n

Other than a column in The St. Petersburg Times<\/i>, which got a number of key details wrong, “Tailpipe” is correct.<\/p>\n

And BRAD BLOG<\/a> continues to ask of the MSM (and we know there are many who read this blog) how much more does it take before you realize<\/i> the importance and veracity<\/i> of Clint Curtis’ story?! Still need more? … Okay, more will be coming soon. We’d love it if you beat us to punch.<\/p>\n
