NEW ORLEANS -- Crime cameras still aren’t working, and city officials are being sued by the company that was supposed to install them -- which alleges a former city official tried to steal their designs
The company, Southern Electronics and partner company Active Solutions were hired in 2004 to install and maintain the cameras. And their lawyer told WDSU that they didn’t walk off the job. He said the city’s old chief technology officer, Greg Meffert, tried to steal their design and concept.
The result: Southern Electronics has sued Meffert, companies with which they allege he was affiliated and the lawsuit names Nagin too.
Court filings allege Meffert, "took plaintiff's confidential information which they had learned in the context of their employment with the city and went into direct competition with the plaintiffs."
Now would be a good time to visit American Zombie and brush up on Dambala's coverage of the Meffert saga... which goes way back to the time when the T-P was still regularly referring to Meffert as a "whiz kid"
