Controversies and legal
Scandal in Florida
In May 2012, Florida Governor Rick Scott lauded the move of BlueWare to Melbourne, Florida. It was announced that BlueWare expected to employ 190 people at an average salary of $69,000, saying “Today’s announcement is a great win for the Space Coast, as well as for the entire state.” At the time, Harr stated that “BlueWare holds 10 companies within its corporate family and we look forward to expanding our presence in healthcare, education, and government sectors”
Prior to that, in early 2012, BlueWare CEO Rose Harr met then Brevard county clerk Mitch Needelman, via Matt DuPree, a former lobbyist and business partner of Needelman. On April 6, 2012, Needelman signed a contract with RoseWare LLC, one of the 10 companies within BlueWare's "corporate family." On the day of signing, $100,000 was wired to BlueWare.
On October 27, 2012, Needelman signed a $6.1 million loan with Hewlett-Packard, despite the fact that the county clerk is not allowed under Florida law to borrow money. Needelman then wired $5,690,526 to BlueWare on November 8, 2012. On January 8, 2013, Ellis was sworn in as Brevard country clerk and continued his investigation into the dealings between Needelman and BlueWare.
Needelman and DuPree were arrested on August 15, 2013. The next day, Harr turned herself in to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
