A key player accused of fraud in the health-contracts scandal was under house arrest and prohibited from handling other people's money when he was given a job overseeing a $9-million budget at Fraser Health.
Jim Taylor was hired as director of communications systems at the Fraser Valley health region in April 2000 -- a month after he was sentenced to two years less a day for defrauding the White Rock Sea Festival Society, which went bankrupt.
