The Scam That Is COMIDA Rochester

Over at RochesterTurning, stlo7 has done a masterful job of exposing the quasi-government organization sham known as COMIDA. He shows, in a series of articles (read this one first to get a sense of what is happening), how COMIDA is simply an excuse to allow its board members to move public money around without any accountability or oversight (except that the money seems to wind up in the hands of donors to the Republican party). The latest COMIDA grant goes to a hotel in Brighton that will allegedly result in one (that’s right, one) new job.

I congratulate stlo7 for his excellent series. This is what local blogging should be all about.
