Member D.A.'s Belmont Task Force Investigation.
Taped 8-17-04
Los
Angeles, CA. District Attorney Steve Cooley and officials
of the Los Angeles Unified School District are still covering
up criminal behavior and dangerous conditions, according to
Ed Scott, a former member of the D.A.’s Belmont Task
Force investigation of the ongoing Belmont High School construction
project.
Scott
pointed out that although his name and those of other expert’s
were used in the District Attorney’s March 2003 Final
Investigative Report on Belmont “at no time did anybody
from the District Attorney’s office ask us to review
the findings of this report or ask us to concur with the findings
of this report.” In describing the Belmont investigation
Scott said that the LAUSD removed consultants who questioned
operations and procedures and replaced them with people who
would produce desired results.

GUEST: Ed Scott
TITLE: Oil and Gas Expert,
D.A.'s Belmont Task Force Investigation.
SECRET
REPORT ON TOXIC HAZARDS AT BELMONT
Taped:
8-17-04
Los
Angeles, CA. District Attorney Steve Cooley has yet to make
public the “secret report” he cited as proof there
are no environmental risks on the LAUSD Belmont Learning Center
site. According to Ed Scott who served on Cooley’s Task
Force investigating Belmont, a member of the District Attorney’s
staff hired the consulting company who prepared the report
without the guidance from oil, gas, and environmental experts
serving on the investigation Task Force.
When
asked why the District Attorney would not want to reveal the
results of the environmental report, Scott said he was more
concerned about why the Task Force experts investigating Belmont
never saw the report. Based upon references in Steve Cooley’s
2003 Final Investigative Report on Belmont, Scott said it
appears they didn’t actually do soil sampling and soil
testing which would determine if methane gas and hydrogen
sulfide or other dangerous chemicals and carcinogens are present.
