  1. As of this morning the Mayor does. Crazy things happen when the CM / city council suddenly get interested in "regaining the city's trust", or whatever is on their business cards now. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-mayor-proposes-independent-system-wide-city-audit-ordinance/
  2. Comparable in size doesn't matter. The vast majority of entities don't have management who are going to approve and pay tens of thousands of dollars toward pieces of paper somehow masquerading as invoices. it's laughable to think that's the norm in the business world v. (rare) exception. We have our share of stupidity and / or laziness in the country but it doesn't run that rampant, at least when it comes to supervisory levels entrusted with a very simply task of identifying an authentic business expense. It's not that hard if you have (even somewhat) legitimate management skills vs. whatever these CoA employees are portraying to have.
  3. It's the very lowest of bars, as in Procurement 101, to have a PO process in place, allowing for simple questioning on whether the transaction is a legitimate expense and especially so when the invoices presented for payment weren't really invoices at all and also, as a convenient side note, invoices that totaled 10's of thousands of dollars. You'd have to fall off the stupid truck, get back on it, and fall off it again to say "Yeah, these invoices are good for payment." In what world were these people ever given managerial responsibilities that included the ability to approve expenditures? Dear lord. Yeah, most private companies have better controls in place. It doesn't take much, some simple competency and processes as, again, it's a very low bar that's required to have ID'd these things from the get-go.
  4. Beating Bobby Flay outtake you didn't see on the Food Network.
  5. $40K+ and counting. Woop.
  6. Yeah, the ball was on him about 1/2 second. No doubt, easy pick.
  7. As long as Nard is in charge you may as well choose another sport. Only he could lose to Mario, in 32 degree weather, by 5 touchdowns.
  8. Incredible pick by ohio.
  9. Day getting some white in his beard today. It will be gone tonight once he gets home.
  10. Not really. Klatt is normally the best in the business. Great football acumen. He's just trying to create a game that doesn't exist today.
  11. Klatt is normally so good but he's just bad today. Romo like.
  12. Glad someone told Weird Gus who the band was over the PA.
  13. The snow in Ann Arbor is such a fantastic football setting.
  14. Wow, atrocious coaching by Sarkisian. Abysmal.
  15. Just fast forwarding the calendar about six weeks or so. Playoff Jackson in late November.
  16. If you can survive the death trap that is 290.
  17. Those are some wayward carts at HEB. Any word on whether it stayed open?
  18. Meh. We can't discount how much he giving 'til the very end - killing himself, recruiting in Florida.
  19. "According to who?" Dear lord. The thin skin makes Brown smile. He set the bar.
  20. Yeah, but they're not hesitant to cry for help judging upon what's residing on their heads.
  21. Ah, catalyst for a necessary dose of comedic relief. Remember the Alamo!
  22. On the subject of a horse's mouth open invite to contact Steve directly to get confirmation on things.
