Suspended director resigns without mentioning Oracle scandal
“It’s part of the governor’s continuing effort to clean house,” Maviglio said. “There were enough concerns raised during his testimony and the governor wants to start anew.”
Elias Cortez has been named and is under investigation for the scandalous agreement it had with Oracle, where they signed a $95 million dollar agreement for licensing (?!) and were told by Oracle they would save $110 million from volume purchasing. It has been said that the state paid $41 million more then the old agreement.
Sound like Oracle is getting over on this one, big time. I doubt that Larry Elison will cross Grey Davis but, then again, Bill Gates is not the only ruthless software dealmaker. Odd, this guy is loosing his job, reputation, and career over (what I speculate to be) promises made by a a sales team at Oracle. Those sales people are probably retired with their cut of the bonus. Hoping not to see a certified letter from the Atty. Gen. of the state of California.
