I emailed the assembly when the red flags started going on up this project  (back when it was $29million) pointing out that industry studies on ERP software installations predicted a minimum cost of $79.5 million over 26 months to do this particular project. And, yes, I did include links to the studies.
Not one assembly member replied.
ADN has omitted from the story that a senior IT manager for the city has already been fired over this disaster.
