Because it's old news .That system was the right idea , and problems should have been dealt with more quickly  Perhaps the biggest problem was technology changes so fast .Every year the device from the year before is outdated. What hasn't been talked about is the concept behind the plan. Had it worked as advertised the Muni could have cut it's workforce by over 10 people saving the taxpayers money. Even in failure / delay it had great effects for the city. Where in the the past workers could come and go as they pleased , having to only fill out paper time cards whenever they felt like it but by weeks end--the new system made most check in and out of the job site the way old time clocks did. Meaning people who did their own thing at taxpayer expense ( longer lunches , leaving work early, not showing up at all or whenever they felt like it ) could no longer get away with that ripoff.  Had that part of the story been told , more people would have supported the program--except city workers
