There is, according to noise from the media, some
interesting excrement about to hit the air circulation device in
Sacramento. It seems at least possible and maybe likely that a
significant number of legislators in the formerly great state of
California are under federal investigation. It further seems that they
are using taxpayers money to defend themselves and the legislature is
going to GREAT LENGTHS to keep the whole thing buried. This includes
precisely who is being investigated, for what, and how much taxpayer
money is being used to defend them. Several media outlets have
attempted to use FOIA and other mechanisms to find out and the powers
that be are telling them to fuck off.
It
is being speculated that much of the focus is on the incredible money
pit that is laughingly called the California High-Speed Rail authority.
That boondoggle is currently running about 300% over budget and 200%
over time projections with not one mile of track yet laid and not one of
the legally mandated performance objectives completed.
There
is an open attempt at the federal level to defund federal participation
in what has become essentially a government funded union construction
make-work project.
