Friends, if you would like to see where your roofing tax dollars are going, courtesy of Garland Roofing Materials, please see the sales commissions printout here:
http://schoolroofingscam.blogspot.com/
In black and white, you will see their top salesman (New Jersey) pocketed over 1.25 MILLION dollars in commissions (almost exclusively, if not entirely, government work).
Now, I would like someone to tell me how wrong I am about seeking fairness, and open competition when bidding public projects.
Do you work hard? Do you work real hard? Most of you do, and I bet you don't pocket 5 MILLION dollars for it.
Taxpayers are violently upset about government waste, and you need look no further than Garland to find out why.
It is this simple, but will keep repeating it:
NO government entity has the right to exclude competition for taxpayer dollars. They may not write unnecessarily restrictive specifications that favor only ONE manufacturer. A material manufacturer MAY NOT act as a roofing consultant, specifying only their materials. It is against the law in all 50 states, and throughout Canada.
Tremco, an outfit very similar to Garland just got a federal fine of 65 MILLION dollars for abusing GSA 'line item" contracting.
In a previous post I furnished you a whole series on Garland's Apology Tour (what do you suppose brought that on?). These people care about one thing, and everyone within the roofing discipline knows I'm right.
The more money he gets for that hideously overpriced roof, the better for him. Where on earth is the incentive to seek value for the taxpayer dollars WASTED in this mess?
It does not make sense to immediately reduce your school roofing tax dollars to .75 each. No sense at all.
They would have you think they are installing a "Superior" roof system, and they are not.
I appeal to you, on behalf of every published state law, and every taxpayer everywhere. Common sense, and adherence to the law must be forthcoming as the Garland show continues to play at your expense.
Thank you for spending time again with me today. Please reject negativity in all forms, and always remember to keep looking "UP".

If any of you are ever up against a Garland Specification (certainly it will be a government job), show them the Garland "Commission Chart", and ask them if sliding a 25% commission into a salesman's pocket seems either reasonable or fair.

We're tired of the sleight of hand. We're tired of people whose only purpose is to defraud our government, and us, the taxpayers. EVERY school district in the country should consider themselves advised, because when it comes down, you'll be all alone in the investigative news report, and it will be you who carries the same.
Again, much respect to Ms. Campbell for her sacrifice.
Her blogsite again: http://schoolroofingscam.blogspot.com/
I think all public officials should read what she has to say. There you will find both fact, and public record.

They bring only shame to our discipline.

We will get through this.
I promise.
