SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Directors of the nation's largest public employee pension fund -- responsible for minding the retirement nest eggs of 1.3 million people -- are involved in potential conflicts of interest that threaten to erode the fund's sterling image.

DOINK!!!

This may makes things a lot more interesting if it gets exposure.

ALSO, ol' Guv got challenged during a press conference/gathering for law enforcement in Burlingame today.

KTVU Channel 2 had a nice clip of Davis getting challenged about not doing enough to utilize the AMBER alert system for the most recent kidnap/murder. The Polly Klaas Folks were none to kind to the inaction by the Governor's Office. GraYouT was squirming .. Hopefully, the rags will report it as well.

"State records show that Brown, Angelides and Connell all received campaign contributions from supermarket magnate Ron Burkle, his wife or his companies. All three later voted to invest hundreds of millions with Burkle's Yucaipa Co."

Burkle? That's one of GraYout's bestest buddies, I do believe. And Brown, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could toss him.

Our Congresscritter, Mike Thompson (D) wrote an opinion piece in The Times-Standard last week railing against our Prez about World Com Enron etc. He made the stupid statement that Calpers lost 1 Billion bucks on World Com and a lesser amount on Enron and basically blamed Bush for it. I said to my self, who was the dumb shi* that wasn't watching the store at Calpers.

San Francisco Mayor Brown, State Treasurer Phil Angelides and State Controller Kathleen Connell... later voted to invest hundreds of millions with Burkle's Yucaipa Co.

These democrats are helping their democrat friends, without concern for the actual pensions they're supposed to manage. Bill Clinton was hired this year as a senior advisor to Burkle's Yucaipa American Fund and Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund. Clinton has little or no investment experience, and neither does Yucaipa, although he might know something about creative accounting.
