The IDA originally hired their then CPA firm CLA to do an ‘Agreed Upon Procedures’ for the CareSync project to prove to the public it was legitimate. When then IDA Board Member Donald Samuels questioned why the original CareSync ‘Agreed Upon Procedures’ had NOW become an “Examination’ at the request of CLA then IDA Board Member and Chair Vanessa Hernandez said “Basically it means they’ll be more thorough than the original intent.”
When the $80,000 Examination was completed NO ONE FROM THE IDA OR CARESYNC would sign the Management Rep letter attesting the results to be free from any KNOWN fraud and/or material misstatement.
Everyone of the Board members, except for Donald Samuels, KNEW that there was no oversight or accountability for the $7.25 million given to CareSync. EVERYONE ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS KNEW! COMM/IDA LIAISON/DE FACTO IDA BOARD MEMBER MIKE THOMPSON KNEW! As the IDA Liaison Mike would have informed the BOCC. ALL OF THE COMMISSIONERS KNEW!
And yet, NOT ONE OF THEM DID ANYTHING!
Go to the 51:00 MM on this meeting video. Listen to Don Samuels question the change and listen to Vanessa and Bill justify it. Keep listening to the end. Listen to Henry Kuhlman during his public comment! And spoiler alert… NO ONE answers Mr. Kuhlman’s questions…

HARDEE COUNTY TRUTH 
I had warned Hardee about Okun over ten years ago. And the nightmare came true. I have more on his fake death if you want to know. The same crooks in Hardee are still stealing the community blind. Okun walked away with over $1million, stolen.
