State pours millions into computer project

By June the state will have poured more than $35 million into a computer server project that is delayed and has no timetable for completion, officials say. They expect to spend another $36 million over the next two years - for a projected $71 million by mid-2009. That includes rent and other expenses since last spring at a Far East Side data center that was intended in part to hold the project's computer servers. Relatively few have been installed there. The state has had a run of costly computer technology blunders publicized in the last year, and a report on them by the Legislative Audit Bureau is expected in the coming weeks.
