fyi

the joint audit committee of the california legislature has finished looking into the oracle ELA "debacle" (word of Dean Florez, the audit committee chair).

they basically said that there some incredibly incompetent political hacks in charge of the contract "negotiations" for the state, but that oracle (and grumman/logicon) acted in a highly sleazy manner.

oracle offered to pay off as many legislators as it took in order to hush things up, but that tactic backfired, in spite of the democratic party's and the governor's office's attempts to do exactly that kind of hush up.

Dean Florez appears to be the rare politician that has smarts, integrity and guts.
