thetragichippy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 A former electrical contractor for the Beaumont Independent School District and the City of Port Arthur has been indicted for fraudulent billing practices and money laundering, announced Criminal District Attorney Cory Crenshaw today. If convicted, Walker faces up to life in prison on each charge due to the amount of fraud being in excess of $200,000. Criminal District Attorney Cory Crenshaw will pursue full restitution to ensure that all taxpayer funds are repaid. http://www.12newsnow.com/story/26141264/calvin-walker-indicted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullets13 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 It will be interesting to see how a trial goes with BISD's cooperation, as opposed to the first trial, with the old regime that refused to acknowledge that they were victims, even going so far as to renew his contract. thetragichippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pays to have a long memory. Glad someone didn't let it slide under the rug like the previous regime. The BE article states that he admitted to altering invoices as part of his tax fraud plea deal. So they have him on record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
