TUCSON, AZ (AP) -
A Pima Community College consultant who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years forwarded lewd emails to the school's executives and billed the public for a personal massage.
An Arizona Daily Star investigation also found that the hiring of Wisconsin resident John Crnokrak bypassed the college's normal competitive bidding process.
He has received more than $300,000 from taxpayers since 2006 to provide executive coaching and leadership training for college administrators.
PCC policy requires bids for work worth more than $15,000 unless no other alternative exists.
College spokesman C.J. Karamargin says the hiring was approved but they won't use him anymore because of the emails and Crnokrak's mischaracterization of his relationship with Chancellor Ray Flores.
Crnokrak didn't respond to emails or phone messages from the Star.
