John Mauro May Be A Liar

From the Des Moines Register:

Polk County Supervisor John Mauro was directly involved in his company's being named the insurance agent for the Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium, agency records show.

Mauro, a former CIETC board member, has previously denied any involvement in his company being hired seven years ago to act as CIETC's insurance agent. He has also said the arrangement was made through a competitive bidding process.

But documents recently obtained from CIETC through the Iowa open-records law indicate that Mauro personally solicited the agency's business and asked that the deal be handled in a way that would bypass the competitive bidding process.

Mauro's company, Insurance Networking Systems, has served as CIETC's insurance agent for most of the past seven years. The company was named CIETC's insurance agent in June 2000 at a time when Mauro was between stints on the board of directors at CIETC, which is a taxpayer-funded government agency.

Mauro has not been accused of any crimes. But some have questioned whether he used his position as a former CIETC board member and county supervisor to have his company named CIETC's insurance agent. Mauro denies that, and says there was nothing improper or illegal about his actions.

Gee whiz they're all dirty and inbred, aren't they?
