TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption

IS STAFF REALLY ATTEMPTING TO DIVERT ATTENTION?

Let me tell you what were going to do for the citizens of Moreno Valley to get you in these U S E D cars today!  We don’t need no stinking bidding process on this one.  By the direction of the Council, we will scam the taxpayer into buying used instead of new cars.  We will spend more for less because that’s how we roll here in Moreno Valley, Nobody will notice.  “Want Chrome Rims, No Problem…….. I like you, tell you what I’m gonna Do!”

Fast Double talking Assistant City Manager De Santis and no talk City Manager Michelle Dawson try to convince the public and the Council that buying 6 used cars/trucks for $180,000.00 is a great deal for the taxpayers of Moreno Valley.  They openly insult the intelligence of the public by trying to convince them that there will be an overall savings of 30% and the sales tax return to the city would be $230.00 per unit, they use terms like low mileage, slightly used, preowned units. This scenario is a simple example as to how incompetent and sleazy the executive management is.

About 4 weeks ago Mayor Jesse Molina was contacted by a city employee, this employee was upset about the possible blantent over billing by a local auto dealer for 6 vehicles to be purchased by the City of Moreno Valley.  The Mayor got a hold of the list and started checking for himself.  It didn’t take long for him to find out that they could by N E W vehicles for the same price if not less than used.  The Mayors office reached out to the local auto dealer to get their take on the autos. The dealer assured the Mayor this was a great deal!

Finally this issue came to council and Tom De Santis was in Classic form “SLEEZY, SLICK & SLOPPY” and City Manager Michelle Dawson, who should be running the show, says absolutely nothing and lets Tom speak for her.  The first thing the Mayor asked, “Did this go out to bid?  Tommy D. said NO!  Where are the comparisons or spread sheets…there are none!  Staff responded,” but we will have them for you next time!  Next time we will have the purchasing manager do comparisons.”  The double talking quick thinking assistant city manager/ wanna be City Manager, was at his best… Saying things as, “We pursued this program at the direction of the council, to provide value to the taxpayer.”  We hear the Mayors concerns loud and clear.  We can possibly look at other options that are a lot cheaper.  The Staffs mission here is to save money to provide value.

Council member Jempson had a really good question: She asked if they could buy fleet with the County to get a better price. Tommy D. stated yes, that they can piggyback on the County that is the way they typically do things.  Comp-bids for new vehicles but………. It is was Giba that said “ We are tired of hearing that’s the way we’ve always done it, Tom, so we are doing it differently.  This is our maiden voyage.”

So basically after all was said and done Tom De Santis stated that they could piggy back off the county for new cars at a better value but they were going to go with the local dealer for used cars at a higher cost.  Dose this make sense to anybody?  It didn’t pass the smell test and the council voted NO.  My favorite George price weighs in reprimanding the public and council saying “that everyone just insulted the largest taxpaying company in the City of Moreno Valley, this is unethical”.  What I find unethical is a City Council member not taking his fiduciary responsibility seriously! You were voted by the people to protect the taxpayer not a local auto dealership!

Some are telling me that even AT&T is just as bad as dealing with a car dealership!
