BOMBSHELL PART 2: Former ICCS Academy Compliance Director now working for City of Austin gave $7 Million Contract to Unqualified ICCS Academy

Two days ago, we dropped this bombshell story about Item 23 on this Thursday's Austin City Council agenda.

BOMBSHELL: Austin City Council wants to give $7 Million to Highly Suspicious Mystery Company to “Clean Up Homeless Camps” in Possible Fraud Case (link) 

This story blew up over the past 36 hours.

It was widely shared on Austin social media and was a major topic on local talk radio.

Even InfoWars covered it yesterday.

Part Two of this bombshell story is even more scandalous than Part One.

All the evidence indicates this is was almost certainly an inside job.

It certainly appears that at least one City of Austin employee colluded or communicated with friends and business associates to secure lucrative seven figure contracts.

Despite being grossly unqualified and totally inexperienced for the job.

It also seems like ICCS Academy is lying about a bunch of stuff on their bid submission.

Got your popcorn ready?

Part II of this bombshell story is ready to detonate.

BOMBSHELL PART II: HOW DID ICCS ACADEMY GET AWARDED THIS $7 MILLION CONTRACT?

First we exposed P Squared Services for being a highly suspicious, newly-formed company with no internet presence, customers, revenue or experience.

Today we put ICCS Academy under the microscope.

Believe it or not, the ICCS Academy bidding process raises even more red flags than P Squared Services.

There are two City of Austin employees listed as "authorized contacts" for Item 23.

1. Sandra Wirtanen

2. John Wesley Smith

Guess where John Wesley Smith used to work as the 'Compliance Director' before he started working for Austin city government?

ICCS Academy!

Can you imagine a bigger conflict of interest?

Maybe that's why ICCS Academy yanked their website yesterday (link).

However, this snippet on DuckDuckGo still appears when you search for 'John Wesley Smith ICCS Academy'

John Wesley Smith was the Compliance Director for ICCS Academy.

His bio states he also works as a "Small Business Counselor with the City of Austin".

His LinkedIn profile has been wiped clean of any mention of ICCS Academy.

QUESTION: Shouldn't John Wesley Smith have immediately recused himself from the bidding and contract negotiation process for Item 23, due to his massive conflict of interest as the current / former Compliance Director for ICCS Academy?

Massive Conflict of Interest

Gee,
