Saratoga County approved contract with arrested psychologist because his rates were the cheapest

According to the September 8, 2009 minutes of the Saratoga County Public Safety Committee, Dr. Steven B. Feldman, who was arrested Friday for having phony credentials, was hired to do work for the county because his rates were the least expensive. The county hired Feldman to do psychological evaluations for the Saratoga County Family Court. Two other psychologists under contract to the county were rarely utilized, regardless of their credentials or expertise, because their rates were higher. Even Feldman, however, exceeded his contract amount of $10,000.
