New watchdog website needs some teeth

Jan 03, 2011 7:40 pm
An anonymous former employee of Columbia County Managed Information Systems (formerly called Data Processing), recently laid off his/her job, has created a website called "Columbia County Tax Dollars" to track government fraud. "I can say that the last 8 months have given me the opportunity to witness tax dollars first hand," reads text on the site. "I can also say that I owe the tax payers of the county a huge thank you for allowing me to collect my check without having to actually show up for work. Believe me, I would much rather actually work for a pay check than to be allowed to sit around for the last 8 months and do nothing, but I didn't have any say in the matter. Fortunately 8 months without working did allow me to do something in my spare time. RESEARCH. It has also made me realize that the only way to change a wrong is to shout it from the roof tops and hope that somebody listens. The tax payers deserve the opportunity to really know where their hard earned money is going." The eight months of work so far has yielded just two links to other websites: See Through NY and First Amendment Center. Hopefully, there's more to come.
