MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, HERALD ARTICLE ON THE SCAM IN THEIR SCHOOLS, June 29, 2003

On June 29, 2003, the Monterey County Herald printed an extensive article entitled
"Repair Costs Hit the Roof"

In the article reprinted below, the reporter uncovered the fact that Garland had been sole-sourced in Monterey Peninsula Unified School district - some if not more of their 18 schools being reroofed in 2003.

Prices were at double that of other competitive suppliers with warranties that "work" rather than need "keeping up" at enormous costs.

Here is that article:

CALIFORNIA DEPT. OF GENERAL SERVICES' SAMPLE LIST OF THE INVOLVED MANUFACTURER'S WORK IN CALIFORNIA FROM 2000 - 2005:

A TOTAL OF 5 PROJECTS!

How many of you working in California saw only 5 such projects going on in schools and public works projects during 2000-2005???

ABSOLUTELY Preposterous!

So here's their list - and compare the Monterey Schools on pages 4-5 with the Monterey County Herald's article shown in the post above from June 29, 2003!
