Imagine a State Controller who actually audited every agency of California government?
How about a State Controller that could use a computer system, that when we run out of money, and need to furlough employees, we could?
Why not a State Controller that tells the legislature, "NO IOU's, pass a budget or we close down shop?"'
California Republican Party Vice Chair Tom Del Beccaro states the problem clearly, "In recent weeks, in California alone, we have heard the stories of Bell, California where that small town was paying a city manager nearly twice what the President makes. Less publicized are the stories about how California schools are paying as much as $125 million, each year, too much for roof repairs and how John Chiangs Controllers office has spent over $70 million dollars and literally can’t update the States antiquated payroll system."
Our current Democrat State Controller has had four years and $70 million, and still hasn't computer problem. I bet that if there was a raise in pay for State employees, it could be accomplished overnight, don't you?
Is there an answer? "All of which brings us to Tony Strickland. He may well be the ideal candidate to start this Republican Controllers tide. As an Assembly member, he stood alone and sued then Governor Gray Davis because Davis refused to disclose the details of the awful energy deals he signed. Those terrible deals were costing Californians billions and until Strickland stood alone Davis was getting away with it. Strickland won his lawsuit, forced disclosure of contracts, and with that you can trace not only the end of those rip-off Enron energy contracts but also the end of Gray Davis political career. California desperately needs a Controller like that today as opposed to John Chiang who is resisting government reform at every turn."
I am now a "greenie". By that I mean we need to recycle Sacramento--do you agree?
