How many "commissions" do you guys have, Bob?  I know that here we have at
least 90 of them that we were "gifted" with by a former governor.  Each of
those "commissions" (personally, I call them upper-middle-class welfare) has
10 to 20 members.  Each member gets $100,000/yr PLUS per diem to attend 4 to 
6 meetings a year.  AND, they get the money even if they don't attend all
meetings.  Do the math on that one!

If CA did away with busy work, there wouldn't be so many jokes about "what's
orange and sleeps 3?"  (A CalTrans truck is the answer).

Personally, I'd do away with the state providing a car allotment, gas for
said car allotments, seminars, subscriptions and memberships for upper
management folks, cell phones, pilot cars and no more uniforms.  Where else 
do you work where they provide you Levis, shirts, boots and jackets except 
working for a municipality.  Everywhere else you buy your own work clothes!

Then I'd do a *real* sweep to get rid of MediCal (CA's Medicaid program)
fraud and welfare fraud.  We're talking 100s of millions a year right there!

Cut the salaries of legislators and make them hit a time clock.  No show, no
pay!

No more welfare/MediCal for *anchor* baby families!  Of course, I'd do away
with the citizenship status for *anchor* babies to begin with!  Why in the
world we *reward* people for illegal acts is beyond me!

AND, I'd open prisons like that sheriff in your state has and put the
criminals to work.  I'm thinking somewhere outside Barstow would be a nice
place for them!  No more free rides for prisoners.  Pay or earn your keep.
