Another DCSD "Surprise"

Here's a shocker: a DCSD IT project has gone pear shaped. IT projects for government, especially government schools, are notorious minefields of graft and incompetence. After all, computer technology is one of the few things you can do right out of prison. Sometimes just before.

Not trusting that their selected IT firm would overcharge and blow up the schedule they insisted on NOT using that firm's management methodology, instead relying upon their own. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently pretty much everything.

Keep in mind that after pouring eSPLOST money down this and other rat holes, these same incompetents are asking you to approve a General Obligation bond. Sadly, having approved so many eSPLOSTs it is difficult to believe you won't approve this as well.
