Government employees are only part of the problem. Private consulting firms, often comprised of former "civil servants", are a huge draw down on the budget of any public project. Consultants to assess consultants in many cases.

That's a problem too. So the government is contracting with these former "civil servants" that are now collecting big time government pensions?

We've had collective bargaining for state employees in Cal for about 24 years. The unions give money to those running for gov and the state legislature. The gov's office negotiates the contracts with the state employee unions including salary and benefits. The legislature votes on the contracts and allocates the funds. This is a direct conflict of interest.

We are now exposing many unethical situations with the correctional officers union. They have bribed the last 3 governors. Repub, dem it didn't matter. They spent 1.6 mill on Davis's first campaign.
