Who's going to control the lavish spending of the Board? Didn't PEC, under
Landaker, just spend upwards of $500,000 for that ridiculous new website?
I'm pretty sure it was a no-bid contract on top of that!

You ask a question, why don’t you name your source for the $500,000 website
accusation? This type of unfounded rumor is not what the PEC needs right
now. If it is true however, it should be investigated. It is good to be
suspicious due to the history of the organization but let’s not spread
rumors for which we have no corroboration.

The real question with respect to the cost of the new PEC web site is this:
Why don't we know how much it cost?

Why is it that information about many PEC expenses is available only after
owners file information requests and wait several weeks for an answer?

An outfit called Tocquigny was awarded this contract, and payments to
Tocquigny can be traced through the lists of checks over $10,000 that are
part of the monthly Board packets.

I'd say that the true cost of this web site reconstruction, beginning with
the insulting survey the firm sent out, is nearer $1.5 million than
$500,000.

Perhaps Mr. Landaker or some official from PEC will post the actual number
here.
