[quote=Anonymous][QUOTE]After learning of this, Schwarz talked with Superintendent Taylor, who was not the district chief at the time of the Lightspeed outreach.

According to Schwarz, the superintendent acknowledged concerns about the district’s contracting protocols and encouraged him to alert the inspector general’s office.

Schwarz asked for a probe into “questionable contracting activities by MCPS, beginning with influence peddling by LightSpeed in the form of using a familial relationship to the County Council President,” as well as the acceptance of a free year of services and other “questionable actions.”

The inspector general’s office told Schwarz their staff didn’t plan to investigate the matter but would keep the complaint in mind.

Reached by phone, Dara Friedson, who no longer works for the company, referred questions to Lightspeed. The company did not respond to requests for comment.[/QUOTE]

Holy crap. Taylor literally encouraged a parent to sic the OIG on the school system he oversees? The same OIG that he disrespected and ignored on the security clearance background check issues?

I'm guessing he encouraged Schwarz to engage the OIG because he thought it would further tarnish and damage the tenure of his predecessor, Dr. McKnight, bolstering his knight in shining armor narrative. Dr. Taylor is a manipulative, calculating SOB.

Also, the naked cronyism of Andrew Friedson's sister-in-law peddling her connections in selling her company wares is proof of how brazenly corrupt and crooked Montgomery County politics is. This is why the County Council and the BOE all fail as a check on MCPS: They're all in bed together.[/quote]
