Unfair business practices

DELL is in the dock in the post-flood reconstruction blues town of New Orleans.
Attorneys for the city of New Orleans filed suit against Dell claiming that the company misused a longstanding deal with the state of Louisiana to flog crime cameras to the city.
The plaintiffs claim Dell conspired with a former New Orleans technology chief and city contractors to get the camera contract using a fast-track buying procedure. The city claimed that Dell knew its agreement with Louisiana did not cover cameras but the deal went through anyway. µ

Dell is probably not at fault here. The mayor and technology chief were trying to line their and their friends pockets as much as possible, and Dell probably had inexpensive cameras so more cash could go into friends contracts. Didn't matter if they were suitable for job or not. A $500k city project went to over $3mil with NO authorization... N.O. is trying to cover its butt for what this mayor and cronies are doing to it. They should seize mayor's, his family's and all cronies bank accounts to cover this.
