DeKalb LSBE Vendors Call for RICO Investigation and Criminal Forensic Audit

I, Viola Davis, with Unhappy Taxpayer & Voter, submit this memorandum detailing alleged criminal activity, wrongdoing and/or malfeasance within DeKalb County government. I have the support of Restore DeKalb, a group of citizens striving to “restore” transparency, ethics and accountability in our local and state government.

I submit this memorandum on behalf of Hopie Strickland, owner of Strickland & Son Construction, and Loretta Washington P.E., owner of LCW Engineering, Inc. Strickland and Washington, DeKalb Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) Vendors and others, have created videos to explain the reasons they are calling for a RICO investigation and criminal forensic audit of the LSBE program. Between the two, over 3-4 local and federal complaints were filed concerning alleged criminal activity. Last but not least, they are also requesting that federal investigator subpoena checks paid to LSBE Vendors who participated in the LSBE program to verify local small businesses were paid the 20% contractual agreement.
