The City keeps talking about "belt tightening" measures. (That's actually what it is called on the agenda.) When the real problem is stuff like these fee waivers -- and even more so all the non-profits that City Council and the Mayor funnel money into. All in the name of kids, and elderly, or the poor.
HERE'S THE REASON WHY THE CITY IS FACING SERVICE CUTS ACROSS THE BOARD:
1) City is given Federal and State funds to provide services. (Also tax breaks and subsidies are provided to developers in exchange for public benefits.)
2) Elected officials (Mayor and City Council) funnel the money into their crony non-profits where there is no accountability or transparency -- and the public doesn't get the actual services the money is supposed to be used for; or the project can't be completed.
3) Elected officials come back and ask for more money to complete the project or provide added services.
4) The mayor blames it on Blackberry use.
DON'T BE BAMBOOZLED...California politics is about one thing and one thing only...there is Federal and State money -- and tax breaks and subsidies being handed out.
And there will always be vultures fighting for their chunk of flesh.
To become an elected official is to basically say to your conscious, "There's money being handed out -- and SOMEONE is going to grab it...may as well be me. Cause if it isn't me, it will be someone else.
And the powers that be, already in charge of the shady distribution of these public funds and public trust (the people controlling the funneling of this money into non-transparent/no accountability "cahoots racket" non-profits won't pull the switch for a politician and back them for office, if they aren't "on the team" in the first place.
