Blanca Medina, the former administrator of ADSEF (the Family Department’s socioeconomic development administration), would go to federal offices on Tuesday to restate the allegations she has made against Family Secretary Suzanne Roig. Medina went to the Office of the Inspector General the day before, and on Friday she filed a sworn statement detailing her allegations about the handling of contracts at the Family Department.
In the document, Medina states that Roig told her that her first priority had to be signing the contract with NOLA Education, LLC and Star Academy. According to Medina, the instruction was given without a technical evaluation, programmatic analysis or justification in line with applicable state and federal regulations being presented to her. Meanwhile, Secretary of the Governorship Norma Burgos has maintained that Medina was dismissed for insubordination, a version that contrasts with the claims the former administrator laid out in her sworn statement.
