Our newest appointed Hillsborough County Aviation Board member is Brig. Gen. Chip Diehl. A retired member of the Air Force after joing in 2005 and having 30 years of service to his nation. Very very impressive indeed! Thank you for your service.

However, he is on the Tampa Bay Defense Alliance as a Vice President. But who do you suppose sits on that very same TBDA as a Board member...None other then our very own CEO Joe Lapano.

Also, and interesting enough, former Tampa Airport attorney Darcy Foster also sits on that very same board. See for yourself:

Now, this may not seem like anything to the kool aid drinkers, so drink up!

But to those who do have intelligence and integrity will realize and understand this. One of the people, who is basically Lapano's boss and who decides his evaluations and determines any possible future increase in income or benefits for him, is the same person who answers to Lapano at the TBDA.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but this sure appears to be a conflict of interest. And do you suppose there is the possibility of any discussions going on between these two about the "Master Plan" and any other of Lapano's hopeful future visions at these gatherings?

Oh wait, we will never know since there is history of texts and emails being deleted between Lapano and other Board members as someone so elegantly pointed out previously. And this was all done by the former head the Airport's legal department, your friend and mine, Gigi. The same person that Darcy Foster had to answer to while employed at the airport's legal department. So I guess Lapano simply found a way around that sticky situation.

So I agree that there is an air of public corruption that does need to be investigated, not only within our joke of a police department, but FDLE also needs to look at the entire airport.

Including the seriousness of the security breach that was detected by those IT department members who reported it, and yet who were crucified for it, as was previously mentioned.

So in summary (as attorneys love to say) why doesn't someone just start at the bottom with the sireci and durkin deal, and sireci's practice of nepotism, the hiring process and his blatant disregard forbtransparency, including the process he used to hire his own secretary. Not to mention his total disregard to the General Orders put in place by him, and approved by him, during many many incidents against his own officers as well as towards the public in general, and just work their way up from there.

You have to hand it to them all though. This place was deleting text in violation of the Sunshine Law, and cooking the books with the forfeiture money long before it was cool to do so.

And this money to buy Lapano's car, well it had been awarded to the police department from many long and hard hours of investigations into money laundering cases made by truly good officers and detectives in our department, as well as many outstanding federal investigators of integrity.

And this money awarded was solely intended for, and mandated to be used "Only" for police purposes as put in writing by a Federal agency. This was agreed to, and signed by sireci and members of our legal department. And no amount of this money was ever intended to be transferred into the General Fund so that sireci could get Lopano a car.

And instead of putting it all towards training and equipment for his officers, sireci also managed to get himself and his inept command staff vehicles to drive home everyday. One that lives three counties away. This too is never discussed as added compensation or income for those few privileged few. I would safely say that not one toll, or and amount of gas put into those vehicles has been paid out of their own pockets either. And I would love to see the public records to count how many times these so call leaders in the police department had to be called out from their homes due to some serious criminal incident that occurred in our jurisdiction. Thankfully to the good Lord above, there have been just a very very few, if any, since the vehicles had been bought and issued to these privileged ones.

Hey Kool Aid...you just have to laugh....because sireci really does think we all lack common sense and intelligence enough to keep records.

Yes, we are America's #1 airport. America's #1 most corrupt airport.

Wow! Who was the director of finance? Are the taxpayers aware of the total cost of these vehicles? Why would they need take home vehicles other than to be used for personal transport to work? Really, how many police emergency call outs were there at Tampa Intl Airport? It's not like they have a k9 or are detectives. Bet if these questions were discussed at a board meeting in detail the vehicles would not have been approved for purchase.
