Government loves to keep secrets--especially when it comes to money.
In county after county, government has sued to keep secret its approved pension payments--guess the public would be shocked if they learned of the self dealing by government for government workers.
"To conceal the fearsome prospective impact of California’s pension bomb from the taxpayers, bureaucrats sometimes play hide the ball.
When they do, it’s up to open-government advocates to drag them into court and make them do the right thing.
That was the dynamic recently in Sacramento Superior Court, where the California First Amendment Coalition and the Sacramento Bee won an order forcing the local county pension board to reveal the names and payouts of local public pensioners including those cashing out at upwards of $100,000 per year in taxpayers fun"
Government used your tax dollars to sue the public to keep its expenditure and agreements secret. That is how a totalitarian Sate works--the people are not to know the truth.
It is time to fire every government employee, for malfeasance and corruption involved in the decision to keep this information secret.
We must demand that the Board of supervisors in each County fire those responsible. Or, this will continue to happen, "So far, judges in Orange, Stanislaus, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties have ruled that under terms of the states Public Records Act, information about public employees wages and pensions must be revealed.
But the litigation may continue: The Bee quoted the CEO of the Sacramento retirement system as saying he wanted to appeal. And in a filing in the lawsuit, a lawyer for the pension system said he knew of 10 other California counties, Orange among them, that were balking at revealing information about pension payouts to their retired public employees. (California Public Employees' Retirement System makes the information public about state pensioners.)"
Now you know why government has too much money and can not be trusted. Will you do something about this in November?
