[history]
Gov. Gray Davis has "pardoned" a $129-million bill owed by the Los Angeles Unified School District and a few other school systems that received extra money after allegedly inflating student attendance figures. This from the corrupt officials getting money from the teachers unions.
The debt was embezzled up by school districts that counted all excused absences as student attendance in 1996-97. They used the same accounting standards to illegal school funding since then. They continued to inflate the attendance figure accounting. Grayout Davis "pardoned" the outstanding debt (ala Bill Clinton). Grayout stated that the oversight program is too costly to continue, since the state has spent $3,000,000 a year to audit attendance records.

Selling pardons to the Teacher's Union. Well isn't that sweet. Merry X-mas to the Teacher's Socialist Party, and a kick-back for Grayout to boot.

SICKENING! Law-breakers and liars! Who better to teach your children.
To: Outraged
Mr.Davis and his fellow DemoRats are very skilled at the art of"Buying Votes"(see teachers'unions)with ALL of the TAXPAYERS MONEY!!By forgiving these debts that were incurred by fraud,Mr.Davis is sending a clear message!!!
To: Outraged
Uh. If the 96-97 school years produced $129 million in fraud wouldn't $3 million a year in oversight and auditing presumably be a good investment? Even if the oversight were only 10% effective?
To: Outraged
$3 million to collect $129 million. Sounds pretty good...obviously they'll lay those auditors off.

They would like nothing better than for you to homeschool your children...hell they're probably collecting for the homeschooled children as well. Homeschooling is a parent option, not a government fix...and this needs fixed. Tax money is our money. The whole shebang is corrupt from the top down, and I'm talking US governemnet as well as state and local.

So not only was Grayout complicit in embezzling money from the State coffers, but he inflated "auditing" costs to further rape the State treasury. It seems to me. Little Grayout will get a nice stocking stuffer for this one.

Since 1999, the State has known of the problems with the LAUSD. The "Little Hoover" Commission
report is detailed enough. But here we have a great example of corruption at the highest level pandering to special interest at the expense of our children ..... again!!

I loved this quote on the first page:
The Commission found LAUSD to be a disturbingly dysfunctional organization – too large to serve its students, staffed by an overgrown and inbred bureaucracy, and governed by a narrow-minded board. ...

So when it comes to auditing financial records that pay the salary of the their major campaign contributors of money and labor (the state education associations or teachers unions); Democrats have adopted Bill Clinton's
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of sophisticated ignorance!
Isn't obvious corruption wonderfull. I feel so much better that they will no longer perform audits of things that they don't want to see!

So, instead of "Knowledge is Good" being the motto of Faber College in the movie, Animal House, should it have read: "Fraud is Good"?
