The that's revealed over at the SCC...

Every new detailed reveleation about the SCC just makes me want to scream. From the Ledger today.

Another one bites the dust at SCC
The embattled state agency in charge of a $6-billion overhaul of public schools lost its third chief executive officer in three years today, as Acting CEO Peter Maricondo announced his retirement.


Maricondo, a former utility executive with an expertise in finances, will be replaced Monday by Scott Weiner, a former state DEP commissioner who joined the Schools Construction Corp. as Gov. Jon Corzine's special counsel.

Maricondo, who joined the SCC as the the agency's first chief financial officer last May, became acting CEO last September, with the departure of Jack Spencer. Spencer left as the agency was being overhauled in light of allegations that millions had been wasted through poor management, cost overruns and exorbitant fees to outside contractors during the operation's first two years.

Weiner said the agency hopes to complete an ongoing search for a permanent CEO within several months.

Of course, let's not forget yesterday's story of Union City's complicity in the fraud.

Assemblyman Brian Stack and his political allies in Union City helped coordinate the hasty construction of an apartment building that added more than $1million to the cost of property the state purchased for a new elementary school, state attorneys claim in new court documents.

Boy, our jails are over crowded with the wrong people.
