Re: “Former Denver RTD manager took up to $145,000 in bribes, filings say,” July 16 news story.
It seems to me that RTD has no management or oversight of its employees, as set forth in The Denver Postap article indicating a former RTD manager accepted thousands of dollars to sway contract decisions.
The way to solve this is to return the power of awarding contracts to the state’s transportation department and let the governor and legislature monitor the incompetent RTD operation, which is costing the taxpayers thousands of dollars.
When I was chairman of RTD, the manager balked at the board monitoring the awarding of contracts. Look what they have now.
