Yes, the apparently crooked Cisco inspector has died!
My sources are the greatest.
This from a courtroom witness to yesterday's Cisco proceedings.
The current state inspector covering this area is named Stafford. Mr. Stafford testified yesterday that he was told that the presumably crooked inspector, one ( are you ready for this) Jeff Davis, died a few weeks ago. Stafford did not discuss how the man died. I'm guessing that will come out sooner rather than later.
Stafford also testified that the late Jeff Davis would suggest to him (Stafford) when they should go to inspect Cisco's and ask him (Stafford) when he was going to inspect.
Does anyone know if Stafford is the inspector who discovered the discrepancy and blew the whistle?
Answer: Yes, indeed he was. I just went back and re-read the GTU coverage. Here's what I found:
Mike Stafford, the inspector who discovered the problems, said he went to the station at Exit 6 for a routine inspection Feb. 7 and reported no problems.
Stafford said he returned five days later on orders from superiors in Atlanta after a complaint was filed against the station.
That inspection on Feb. 12 showed the pumps "were way out of tolerance," Stafford said.
He also found the seals that prevent tampering "were not properly secured to prevent re-calibration."
Good on Mr. Stafford and the citizen who filed that complaint!

The GTU article said that the chips in the electronic pumps could be read. Hopefully they will be able to go back to the date that Cisco installed the electronic pumps and see how many times he altered them.
The pump historys were revealed in court yesterday according to the TG webcast & print edition.
The diesel pumps at the exit 1 Cisco's were still locked again today around lunch time. Wonder what is going on?
