I do think laws were bent and or skated past to adopt the Red Plan but I’ve never said that JCI was acting with criminial intent. Although I’ve used words like mislead, greed and the like I’ve been pretty cautious describing JCI’s activities. That did not stop Ralph Doty from writing a column days before the last election vilifying me for criticising JCI. He said the company should sue me for slander. Doty explained that he called an aquaintance at his old place of employment to inquire about JCI’s success with a project in Ohio. The report was favorable so Doty simple mindedly applied this singular success to all JCI projects world wide including the Red Plan.
If a singular example is now the standard of judgement then any evidence of scandal should cast doubt on all JCI projects. Using Doty’s line of reasoning I now offer proof that every JCI project is corrupt with the singular example of their work in pre Katrina New Orleans.
Here’s how the Times Picayune editorialized about New Orleans’ JCI scandal.
“Indeed, the breadth of the graft and greed alleged in the indictment is breathtaking, even by the standards of a city inured to public corruption.”
So, is JCI a barrel of rotten apples or does it simply have a few bad apples?
