California legislative committee ends investigation of sleazy Oracle state database deal without formal report.

A clip from the story at World Tech Tribune.com:

What do you do with 2,500 pages worth of legal documents, testimony from 30 different witnesses and 60+ days worth of committee hearings on a sleazy deal with the second largest software company in the world that cost Californian taxpayers $95 million? If you’re the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, you chalk it all up to a breakdown in procedure and leave it at that...

Millions wasted on a shady contract made by shifty politicians and a company whose founder said: "I hope they can amend the constitution to let Bill Clinton run again... I'm very fond of Bill Clinton personally... the world's going to miss him. He's gifted, bright, charming and charismatic."

Another example of how Oracle expects the government to bend the rules for his interests...

Man, if they were to total up all the corruption from this, Enron, Global Crossings, Arthur Anderson, et al, we could PAY OFF the national debt...I so throw them ALL in jail!
