Lorenzo United States	#1 Jan 14, 2011 Why not publish the "benefits" that are given to our city, county, state, and federal electeds? Our County Supervisors have a discretionary fund each year of $3,000,000 and can spend it any way they want. Why is this? Because we allow it. How much does a mayor, a city councilman/woman, supervisor, assemblyman, senator make? The total? Let's find out. It can be done by using the Right to Public Records Act. More later...

Milage Vouchers La Puente, CA	#2 Jan 14, 2011 All is true and the fat-good-times are all over, time to cut back and make them fill out a mileage voucher slip and turn it in for their .51 cents per mile. Then the cities can keep track of their employees and account for monies spent, travel trips would be cut back, honesty wouyld return to the system. Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

Let them pay for their own gas. They are already overpaid. Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!
