Where's Jack?

Welcome to the Hanlon Administration Circus. See if you can see "Jack." He used to work in the procurement office. Jack's not working there any more, after being unceremoniously fired for following state law. It appears that he wouldn't "roll" the trash contract as directed by the Administration. Jack takes his marching orders on procurement issues from the Inspector General's office.

During the budget hearing, it was clear that no one really knew what was going on. Department head Jerry Sheehan announced that the contract had been "rolled," saving the city money. Budget Director Janice Vetrano stated that the contract was awarded to the low bidder, Capitol, which also happens to be the vendor that currently holds the contract. The irony of the whole story is . . . as it turns out . . . the contract actually was sent out to bid, exactly as Jack had advised the Ringmaster of the circus that it should be. So, essentially, Jack was terminated for doing his job and doing it properly.

Can you find Jack? No? Well, don't worry. Jack will get the last laugh.
