Affiliated Computer Services, a for $profit$ company has created many of the core issues. They lack ethical standards of responsibility and accountability which derives from the top corporate management and oozes down to middle and lower management. Their management staff are deficient and uncommitted in identifying the fundamental problems. Politics is dominant in upper and middle management, and middle managers make arbitrary decisions and usually do not suffer the consequences. Nor are they held responsible for the mess. In other words, the exploitation and castigation of the those working any position other some form of management will continue. The operative assumption should be that someone, somewhere, has a better idea; and the operative compulsion is to find out who has that better idea, learn it, and put it into action to find initiatives to improve client services, total claim results, operational efficiency, and staff retention. An effective organizational structure that would facilitate working relationships between the various entities and have a set order and control that would enable monitoring of all processes. Using a "Divisional Structure" indisputably isn't working. A "Matrix" type program would be evidently a more considerable approach.

Another one of the State Appointed Committee Members was appointed to a Board of Directors position on one of the Contractors Company Boards after the fellow State Committeeman got the contract. This all happened after the contract was awarded to their fellow Appointed State Official who resigned to get the contract.<br /><br />Isn't there a ONE YEAR PERIOD under Indiana law to keep this thing from happening with State and Local Officials? <br /><br />Another State Appointed Official on the SAME Committee may have sold his land and mansion to the fellow State Appointed Official now a State Contractor so the new golf course could be built.<br /><br />If a fellow State Appointed Official received a Board position for their vote and another State Appointed Official actually sold their land and mansion to the former State Appointed Official who got the contract isn't that smack of pay to play, quid pro quo, RICO, conflict of interest and fraud?<br /><br />This is not a Casino License. It is a CONTRACT to operate a Casino for the Indiana Gaming Commission and the TAXPAYERS of INDIANA!<br /><br />When does the greed, self indulgence and power begin to shift to the PEOPLE?I knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837535454387104930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-63339780723780435042010-06-28T09:31:10.490-05:002010-06-28T09:31:10.490-05:00There are already over 100 federal judgeships bein...There are already over 100 federal judgeships being filibustered by the GOP and dozens of dozens of U.S. Attorney positions.

His belief seems unshakeable, despite the magnitude of our Federal government being contingent upon a thriving, not stagnant, capitalistic Democratic Republic. Unfortunately, I think it's clear our President and some of Congress are not concerned about preserving a "capitalistic Democratic Republic". <br /><br />Combining nearly half of America with a hand extended for a check with a biased mainstream media, Daniels and any Republican Presidential candidate need to get all the skeletons our of their closet NOW. <br /><br />Unless enough people make it clear that "Change We Can Believe In" is NOT the change we want, our President's closet will again open nary a peep.dcrutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856825454020971907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57391807132327485782010-06-27T19:08:46.208-05:002010-06-27T19:08:46.208-05:00Obama and the/his FBI do not care about protecting...Obama and the/his FBI do not care about protecting Hoosiers from corrupt government practices here.

That is what I have been trying to get people including the FBI and several sources to see. <br /><br />The dots connect very easily and it all has the same mode of operation every time.<br /><br />When does the group find their match and have to understand even Bernie Madoff had to give up at some point? The RICO, the under the table deals, the contracts across all agencies and the gag these people have on the mainstream media should wake someone up.<br /><br />It would really be interesting to see the Justice Department just peel back the carpet and look at what is under the rug. It would not take a huge task force to clean up the fertile dirt!I knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837535454387104930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-62667918632818641082010-06-27T15:22:14.462-05:002010-06-27T15:22:14.462-05:00I Know is talking about the process under which th...I Know is talking about the process under which the license for the French Lick casino got awarded. The referred to state appointed person was not a member of the gaming commission; rather, he was a member of the Historic Hotel Preservation Commission. Was it a shady process? Yeah. Was it as bad as what occurred in the awarding of the other gaming licenses under Evan Bayh? Probably not. I noticed that Scott Newman, the prosecutor who was all fired up about going after that corrupt gaming license process down in Lawrenceburg, and who later dropped that investigation and became a partner at the law firm that represented one of the gaming applicants he was investigating, wound up as one of Daniels appointees on the gaming commission. Scott Newman gets a pass by so many people because he suffers from Parkinson's disease, but I'll tell you he is one sleazy operator. If everything gets pealed back on some of these John Bales and Carl Brizzi shenanigans, you'll find him involved in the middle of that corrupt mess. But nothing will happen to him because everyone feels so sorry for him because of his disease.Gary R.

You know the Chairman of the Gaming Commission is a former FBI Agent. His bio on the Commission's website: "Tim Murphy (Chairman) of Carmel, Indiana is the retired Chief Financial Officer of the Irwin Mortgage Corporation, formerly a subsidiary of the Irwin Financial Corporation. Prior to joining the Irwin Financial he was a Special Agent with the FBI, serving in the Indianapolis and Chicago field offices. Mr. Murphy is a 1973 graduate of Indiana University with a degree in accounting and is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Indiana."Gary R.

How did the State Appointed Official on the Committee know there was going to be a new RFP and the Gaming Commission not take the back up applicant when the first one failed if he did not have inside information. <br /><br />Low and behold the RFP is opened back up, the State Appointed Official on a Gaming Commission Committee resigns and becomes the APPLICANT four days later and three months later is awarded a contract that the applicant then changes to a self written 40 year contract and the Indiana Gaming Commission then writes a letter, a public record document, asking ALL STATE ADMINISTRATORS to over look the NON BOILER PLATE CONTRACT and NOT AMENABLE TO STANDARDS and quickly approve the contract.<br /><br />The contract was awarded and the APPLICANT, former STATE APPOINTED OFFICIAL, did not meet the initial bond requirement for the letter of credit and got a tiny $10,000.00 fine and then DEFAULTED on $370,000,000.00 BONDS TWICE IN TWO YEARS AND STILL HAS THE CONTRACT.<br /><br />The State of Indiana had to hire local Indianapolis counsel to negotiate with the New York Bond Holders quietly to avoid the scrutiny of their mess.<br /><br />How can a State Appointed Official who has caused far greater liability to the taxpayers of Indiana stay hidden in all the incest?<br /><br />Is it power, money and greed?
