- I can provide a summary of these facts during a short concise discussion.
- I am forwarding information concerning the Free Speech / Freedom of Assembly lawsuit naming San Antonio
- TX Police Chief William McManus, city attorney Michael Bernard ( brother of White House Social Secretary
- Jeremy Bernard, Mayor Julian Castro for the City of San Antonio TX ( Obama campaign co-chairman)
- along with information submitted to the Court and law enforcement concerning City Councilperson Diego M
- Bernal ( author of the Non-Discrimination Ordinance- NDO) for his active role in the criminal conspiracy and
- unconstitutional ban.
- Background:
- In 2005 as the City's new Telecommunications Manager I uncovered and reported massive long-term theft/
- fraud, the theft of upwards of $200,000 by city IT manager Jose Medina and vendor Isabel Gonzaba
- via "padded" invoices processed across state lines, accounting fraud, grant fraud and many other crimes
- including the fact that I had been threatened by my supervisor City IT manager Jose Medina to not say a word
- and help hide the long-term criminal activity. I discovered that upwards of 25% of 911 calls were failing , the
- fact that the City's communications system was in dire straights and filed reports with the Office of Municipal
- Integrity, SAPD and others. A Municipal Integrity investigation was begun that was collecting proof of the
- crimes and cover-up but still I was denied funding needed to repair the failing 911 system.
- Internal City documents show that the theft/fraud was characterized as “a bottomless pit of money” citing the
- fact that “The largely unsupervised and unregulated billing of departments across the City under the guise of the
- telephone “variable” for the last 25 years has resulted in departments having been billed for an untold amount
- of goods and services from which their department received no benefit”. The impact is listed as “millions
- of dollars”. In HUD-OIG case hl-10-0465 city officials AGAIN violated the law when they submitted false
- statements to federal investigators admitting that they only misspent $648 of HUD funds for years 2004-8 via
- “radio accounts” and fail to even mention the “variable billing account” accounting fraud, telecom account
- fraud, the “BOTTOMLESS PIT OF MONEY”, up to $200,000 of fraudulent Avaya, Inc. invoices submitted
- and approved by city IT manager Jose Medina and vendor Isabel Gonzaba ( IG Communications) , secret no-bid
- contracts with huge markups steered to friends, the bond fraud, the threats, the "fraud upon the court of 2009",
- etc ( see attachment "unfounded" where OMI manager Virginia Quinn provides some insight into the cover-
- up showing how the investigation was closed for lack of evidence BUT in reality several city officials knew in
- 2005 of the three decades of fraud/theft. Quinn lies when she states that no laws or rules were violated and lied
- under oath in Court in February 2009 to hide the criminal activity)
- Corrupt City of San Antonio, Texas employees/official pilfered, misused and otherwise misappropriated
- millions of dollars a year from City, State and Federal coffers since as early as 1982. City employees illegally
- used an internal service fund- the “variable” telephone billing account in conjunction with Avaya, SBC/ATT
- and Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) contracts to secretly gain illegal access to the funds and
- then submitted fraudulent reports, audits, statements, etc. falsely stating that millions of dollars of expenditures
- were for payments of monthly Centrex (207 #s) telephone bills from SBC. Long after the monetary limit
- set by law for contract purchases was attained vendors continued to process invoices. Avaya, DIR, SBC
- and possibly others added their own fees based partially on the cost of the illegal purchases when they too
- profited from the criminal scheme to defraud our government and our taxpayers. City employees/officials/law
- enforcement “cooked the books”, presented false statements to auditors, falsified official statements/audits,
- published fraudulent Municipal Integrity reports, fired/harassed whistleblowers , presented a “fraud upon our
- courts”, violated the Texas Open Meeting Act, turned taxpayers away from elected official’s offices, “ripped
- up” police reports and most recently submitted false statements/audits to federal investigators . Asst. District
- Attorney Barry Elliott identified the crimes, obtained a search warrant but then suddenly joined in the cover-
- up. Texas Ranger Hank Whitman identified crimes in violation of the Texas Penal Code, vowed to obtain
- additional proof of the crimes but too suddenly joined in the cover-up. Sworn statements collected by Municipal
- Integrity investigator Steve Harrison reveal that the fraud/theft did in fact exist for many, years contrary to his
- and other "official" lies.
- In October 2005 when city attorney Michael Bernard took office the investigation was suddenly closed and I
- was denied access to the report and other information including an audit of the telecommunications contracts.
- Open records requests were denied and I was denied access to many offices in the IT building including the
- billing file area.
- In February 2006 ( after civil service protection for managers was removed by the City on February 1st ) I was
- placed on leave and terminated the following month. A reason for my termination was not provided when I was
- walked to the door .
- I went to court in February 2009 - three years later. City attorney Deborah Klein, attorney Mark Kosanovich
- ( Fitzpatrick & Kosanovich) and city IT Director Hugh Miller coached numerous city witnesses to present
- fraudulent testimony in an effort to discredit me and cover up the long-term criminal activity. The jury ruled
- that I did not make reports about the criminal activity in good faith. The law firm of Fitzpatrick & Kosanovich
- was paid upwards of $58,000 to defraud the court and hide the criminal activity. Chief Information Officer
- Richard Varn provided the critical false testimony while his deposition , administrative directive 6.12 and other
- docs proving his lies under oath were kept secret. Other city witnesses with the expert coaching of city attorney
- Klein and attorney Kosanovich offered their false testimony.....many of them putting themselves in the running
- for some prestigious acting awards.
- I hired another attorney to file a motion for a new trial but it was quickly dismissed by Judge Antonia Arteaga
- with city attorney Klein stating that there was no perjury. I hired another attorney to file an appeal but she left
- out a critical element so the $10,000 plus appeal was just about worthless.
- Immediately after I delivered proof of the ongoing criminal conspiracy two armed SAPD officers came to my
- home on July 1, 2009 serving me with a criminal trespass warning. They could provide no reason, time limit,
- due process avenue, etc. Requests of the City to provide a reason, time limit, public hearing, etc. were ignored
- for years.
- The illegal, unconstitutional ban remained in place until April 1, 2013 - a total of forty-five months - almost
- four years. The Texas Open Meeting Act was violated for almost four years….making city business null and
- void.
- The ban was lifted when US District Judge Rodriguez issued an injunction in the similar case of Michael
- Cuellar who was banned for about seven months when he was investigating corruption inside the San Antonio
- Fire Department.
- I filed a lawsuit on February 26, 2013 citing violations of my Constitutional Rights to Free Speech and Freedom
- of Assembly
- Reports of the Texas Open Meeting Act violations for the forty-five month period when entry into public
- meetings was prohibited by one or more than one law-abiding citizen have been ignored by the local District
- Attorney in an effort to protect her former First Asst. District Attorney...now city attorney Bernard ( brother of
- WH Social Secretary Jeremy Bernard and a former President of the ACLU ) . Almost four years of city business
- is voidable via the Courts due to the illegal meetings that officials willingly participated in from July 2009 to
- April 2013.
- The City filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit and to strike all the documentation I submitted detailing the
- ongoing criminal cover-up. On Sept 4, 2013 Judge Rodriguez denied the Defendants motion to dismiss the
- lawsuit stating “Each day that Plaintiff was allegedly barred from accessing public facilities he suffered a
- constitutional injury". The Judge ruled that the constitutional violations began on the date of the criminal
- trespass warning - July 1, 2009- , ended when the ban was lifted on April 1, 2013 and the harm persisted for
- the entire time it was in effect. The Judge cites that the injury flows from “the fact that for close to four years
- Plaintiff was prohibited from exercising his rights to free speech and assembly".
- In documents submitted to the Court attorneys hired by the City ( Fitzpatrick & Kosanovich) and the
- Defendants falsely claim that there was no perjury during the February 2009 whistleblower trial and that there
- is no conspiracy.......two lies told to the Court in an effort to hide their criminal acts. The law firm of Fitzpatrick
- & Kosanovich is again being paid with tax dollars to defraud the Court and hide the criminal activity. Formal
- Complaints have been filed with the Court, the FBI, the DOJ and others.
- City officials ignore requests for safe passage into public meetings and requests for assurances that SAPD
- Chief McManus, city attorney Bernard, Councilperson Bernal or others will not attempt to arrest law-abiding
- citizens for speaking publicly about the criminal activity. The criminal conspiracy continues.
