Yes, when Government sues for efficiency issues, it’s smells to high heaven for those big, fat bloated retirements that keep toll takers and underworked AA hires on the putting green while I slave to scrape out a living.

LAUSD - 3,600 full time employees earning an average of $88,000 and 800+ contractors earning $215,000.
These are the teacher’s UNIONS, not in classrooms.
$600,000,000 schools in low income neighborhoods.
Education and unions will eventually force every business out of CA and then the will find out how much illegals “contribute”. Idiots.

The health insurer violated state law nearly 1 million times from 2006 to 2008They jacked me around for over a year beginning in 2007. I had previously wondered how a company so incredibly incompetent could remain in business...now I know it was possibly intentional.

$9 billion in fines.
And the Democrats are left wondering why businesses aren’t hiring in this environment.

Obama and his assclowns to the rescue! Nothing that a complete government takeover can’t fix.

It looks like the company did some things wrong and should be fined, but 9 billions dollars?
Like many of you said, a fat lamb to sacrifice for the state budget.

Here’s the problem, they will recognize the 9.9B as income now and claim they have balanced the budget.
They will now go around and fine companies for anything, recognize revenue and hand out raises and larger pensions to the state employees.
California is beyond repair.
