According to CNBC, on August 7, 2012, Voice of San Diego reporter Will Carless “broke” the story of a billion-dollar borrowing boondoggle in the California school district of Poway.
While Carless corrected CNBC for mispronouncing his name, he stayed mum when their reporter credited him with breaking the story that Poway borrowed $105 million and will pay back nearly $1 billion in principal and interest.
Carless and the Voice of San Diego did not break the Poway story.
The tale of Poway’s gigantic debt was first reported on this blog on
May 1, 2012; again on May 10, 2012, in a story called “Disaster shadows Poway.”
I published a second article about Poway, “CAB scam in Poway,” on May 12.
