Bet you won't be surprised at how dirty the Wall Scam contractor is....
Fischer Industries is a child company of Fisher Sand and Gravel:
Fisher Sand and Gravel peeps have quite a history.
Despite their award being repeatedly contested, and the company’s history of criminal tax evasion, pollution citations, environmental fines, and a former CEO charged with child pornography, Bannon’s privately funded campaign chose their firm to build the wall.
David William Fisher, who was the foreman at Fisher Sand and Gravel and chairman of the Dickinson United Methodist Church’s administrative council, pleaded guilty in 2005 to child pornography charges.
Snip.......
Michael Fisher, a former co-owner of Fisher Sand and Gravel, was sentenced to 37 months in prison, fined $90,000 and ordered to pay $307,069 in restitution after pleading guilty to “conspiracy to defraud the United States by impeding the IRS, four counts of aiding in the filing of false federal tax returns for FSG, and four counts of filing false individual tax returns.”
Snip.....
chief financial officer Amiel Schaff pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
A year later, in May 2009, FSG’s former comptroller Clyde Frank plead guilty to the same charge.
FSG was also charged in the superseding indictment with conspiracy to defraud the United States...
Snip......
Fisher Industries Paid $150,000 to Settle a Sexual Discrimination & Retaliation Suit in 2011.
Snip.......The High Plains Reader has documented environmental violations and tax evasion by the company, including 169 citations and paying $1 million in air quality violation fines in Maricopa County, Arizona over the past 10 years.
