[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The purpose of the auditors report was to guide decisions going forward.

1) The DGS leadership had already changed when Grey left/Bowser was elected (the events examined happened in the Grey administration). 
2) DCPS directs DGS for school modernizations - relationship was other way around
3) Council reprioritizing the listens adopting different criteria for which schools get done first

That's it. Pattersons comments suggest that DGS has learned and moving in right direction. [/quote]

So, there's no criminal investigation at all?

Just read the NYT article about the corrections union leader arrested for accepting a $60k kickback.

Why don't we see similar prosecutions here in DC?[/quote]

As was stated on a previous page of this thread, auditors don't have prosecutorial power and nothing in Patterson's report suggests crminal wrongdoing - but tons of bad process and decision making by a number of entities and parties.

The DC attorney general would have to determine there was actually some crime to prosecute.

It isn't illegal to waste money. It is illegal to steal it. But no evidence of theft. [/quote]
