California's Capital City is Broke! Why?

Last night (6-7-11) We heard once again from Silly Hall and the need to slash funds again from the Sacramento Police Department. This is nothing new! When I think back, it seems to me we hear a lot about hiring new police officers during the political campaign seasons. When the successful candidate or incumbent votes on budgets, what happens? THE LIE: "Public Safety is our No. 1 Priority!" NO IT ISN'T and IT NEVER HAS BEEN!

Something interesting came out during last night's Council Meeting. It was the revelation about two alleged funds that have been squired away by the city: $14 Million Reserve fund and a $34 Million Unreserved Designated Fund.

Maybe this money is set aside for a different kind of Safety Net?
SOCIAL SERVICES?
Our city, through it's supported social service agencies, whose Directors and CEOs
enjoy their six and seven figure annual salaries have done such a sterling job! Right?

Lets Take a Closer Look!

 

NOT YOUR TYPICAL SSI FRAUD! Community Watch received a complaint from a tenant and her children on the property where it's office is located. The tenant complained that there was a male subject in the parking area of the apartment, injecting himself with a syringe. Police were called and the subject contacted by the manager of the property (A Community Watch member).  The subject appeared to be under the influence of drugs.  He was irrational and agitated.  He refused verbal requests to drop the syringe and remain seated. When the suspect lunged toward the watch member, a defensive measure was used to remove the syringe from the suspect's grasp so it could not be used as a weapon.  The suspect resisted further but fled when the watch member backed off.

This statement was recovered from property of the suspect that was left behind. The Community Watch member was acting at the direction of Sacramento Police after the suspect fled.  The property was subsequently booked as evidence when it was discovered he had $10,000 in warrants.  Recovered by police was a skateboard, drug paraphernalia, pornographic materials, condoms, heavy metal audio tapes, and a tape cassette player with earphones.


 
Date of Withdrawal Dollar Amount Stated Purpose This Trust Account Statement raises serious questions of the conduct of an approved "Payee" for federal or local funding intended to provide for basic needs of recipients.  A member of Sacramento's Homeless Board indicates a Private Party Payee would be held to a much more rigid standard and subject to greater scrutiny.

If a person with arrest warrants and an obvious IV drug addiction can withdraw this amount of money in such a short period of time, it's not hard to believe there are others who may be fugitives or parolees at large.

During all this time, Loaves and Fishes denied being a Payee and refused to comment on our report. Local media also declined to cover the story.
