[Vendorsmi] send me the inventory now!

Amen. Amen. and More Amen.

You've sited herin here Terry and documented plentiful violations of established laws over and over again.

So have I. so have many.

When will Michigan fire the lawbreakers?

I plain don't get it here. I mean I'm left leaning to be sure. I'm for government programs. But I want them to follow established rules of law and to have basics of transparency.

The higher u[p ojn the food chain things go as far as I can figure the more "FUUBR they are.

Why is that?

Cannon, Zanger et al should have been fred for cause long ago.

  With regard to the equipment inventory, I find it both amusing and totally disgusting that a taxpayer-funded organization such as BEP requires a second inventory by a new and different person or entity, simply because the data from the physical inventory does not match up with the database.  Does anyone really believe that repeat performance of the physical inventory is going to bring about a different result-the desired result by BEP management of match up with the database inventory?  If anyone really believes that expensive concept, I, like the governor, have a taxpayer-free-funded built bridge to Canada to sell to anyone holding such belief.

  What actually is needed is an "independent" investigation of why and how the physical inventory of BEP equipment does not match up with not only the database inventory, but actual equipment purchases.

  Then, perhaps we the taxpayers can get full disclosure about not only how tax monies have been spent,but how and where the purchases were assigned or magically disappeared, so as to not match up between  the physical inventory and database Inventory.  Does anyone really believe such an "independent investigation" is likely to take place on the initiative of the Commission for the Blind?  We are more likely to get a bridge to Canada than an "independent investigation from the Commission, LARA, or the Snyder administration.

  Speaking of an "independent" perspective, perhaps the state Auditor's General audit draft report released May 18th will shed some daylight sunshine on the propriety of the BEP inventory issue.  You think?  Oh yeah, that's right, pardon me, I guess the released draft report was to remain  an unrevealed secret, since MCB Director Patrick Cannon informed the MCB Board and public last Friday, June 15th, that no Auditor General report yet exists on the BEP audit.  Hmmmmmmmm, perhaps very soon, right, Mr. Cannon?  I guess that secret was to remain unrevealed until accidently exposed, like the email from Assistant Attorney General Tom Warren on the legality of the Anderson bid and interview process.  It appears any title that contains the word "General" translates to "classified" or "confidential".  Correct, Mr. Cannon?  So much for the rule of law concerning governmental transparency.

  Allegedly the purpose of the proposed Executive Order 2012-2 was to bring about efficiency and better services within programs serving the blind and disabled citizens of Michigan.  How is work to welfare for the blind and disabled make foe more efficient program management?  In my opinion, the core problem of unqualified, incompentent, corrupt management still exists.  It appears to me it is simply a moving around the chairs on the deck of the sinking unsinkable ship.  The only question to be answered is who will survive?  The likely answer is the civil service personnel with system-issued survival "floatation" protection support.  Of course, as we often learn from the post-sinking report, it will be determined that the disaster could have been avoided were it not for "human error" caused by "failure to ffollow established and prescribed practices and procedures", yet, there is no criminal or civil culpability and accountability for the negligent breach of duty by the personnel involved.  Those responsible for the disaster are simply reassigned or sent off into the sunset with their abundant taxpayer-paid severance package and life-long retirement and health-care benefits.  Go figure!  Standard efficiency operating procedure.

  To:

  Patrick D. Cannon

  Director, Michigan commission for the Blind 

  (Via e-mail)

  Dear Mr. Cannon

  I'm writing to you as the Director of the Michigan commission for the Blind to remit all spreadsheets, and other data related to the MCB's Equipment Inventory that is a required and ongoing obligation of your and the BEP staff. Certainly it is your and others obligations to account to for who, what, when where and why and how or federally taxpayer funded stuff is!

  This isn't rocket sconce sir. It is a matter of accounting and accountability for where and how our taxpayer's monies are accounted for. You are paid in excess of $125,000 per year to in part know just where this stuff is.

  Your job description also requires that you ensure subordinates like Zanger and Hull and Promotional Agents know where our stuff is. Yet, no one knows where anything is apparently. 

  Also this goes to the ggross dereliction of ongoing duties by PA, Josh Hoskins and his superiors including yourself in the loss of a $7,000 snack machine at he "Holt Rest Area" demolished or otherwise lost do to dereliction of known duties and that has not been responded to and there is no accountability for this or other actions/inactions by you, the boss.

  What gives here?

  Send me this inventory stuff in accessable format which is to send it to me as Word attachments/and/or plain text enclosures to my e-mail adress listed above pursuent to obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of which you are well aware and title II of the ADA.

  Do it now.

  Sincerely,

  Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
