After Finding Out That Bell, California “Public Servants” Don’t Really Give A Damn If They Steal $$$$$$ From The People or not, Now We Have the “Former” Executive Director of the California Schools Boards Association That Was Hauling Down $500K a Year and Using the Organization’s Credit Card at Casinos! – Yes, Just Another Day in Bizarro-Land = California AND Just Another Day at the Office for Our “Public Servants!”
In another report from Bizarro-Land otherwise known as the state of California, after a week of Bell, California “public servants” getting paid OUTRAGEOUS amounts of money for doing stuff that any common “D” student could do on the worst day of his/her life, now we have the now resigned executive director of the California Schools Board Association hauling down $500,000 Plus Dollars a year while also getting Thousands of Dollars of cash advances on the organization’s credit card at casinos! No, we are not making this up!
Of course, the California Schools Board Association is fully supported by “The People’s” Tax Money and of course this Clown former executive director, Scott Plotkin, is just like every other Government Worker on the Planet that….
DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE MONEY THEY WASTE BECAUSE…
IT IS NOT THEIR MONEY THEY ARE WASTING!
That is what all of the Incredible Waste in Government is really about, these Buffoons are spending “Someone Else’s” MONEY and that means that they could care less how much they make, how much they spend, how much they steal…..because it is not coming out of THEIR POCKETS!
The problem in California and the problem at the Federal Government Level in the United States, which is now running $1.5 Trillion Dollar annual deficits for as far as the eye can see, is that none of these Bastards give two rips about anything but getting as much of OUR MONEY as they can while working and during retirement their multi-hundred thousand dollar a year pensions which they dream of day and night while they are supposed to be SERVING THE PEOPLE!
Here’s a News Flash for you: Government Workers, from the President of the United States on down…
WORK FOR US not the other way around you IDIOTS!
Yes, this executive director of the CSBA is just another great example of why the United States of America is headed for the biggest crash since the Roman Empire, and the problem is the incredible selfishness and arrogance of people across government and complete disregard of morals or ethics, or even right and wrong, is THE NORMAL WAY OF DOING BUSINESS!
The Educated Guess Forum has the story on this Bastard Plotkin:
CSBA Scott Plotkin’s troubling resignation
“Caught in lies he told the news media last week about questionable credit card expenses and about salary cuts over the past year that he claimed he took – but didn’t, Scott Plotkin resigned Friday as executive director of the California School Boards Association. In a brief statement on CSBA’s web site, Plotkin wrote, “I am sorry if my actions have damaged the reputation of CSBA and the vital work being conducted by the Association. It was certainly not my intent.”
There is no “if” about it. Plotkin, who effectively led the organization for nine years, has scorched it on his way out. And the CSBA officers and board members must go beyond their tight-lipped responses to questions about pay and expenses if it’s to rebuild credibility with the public and the nearly 1,000 school districts whose CSBA dues are funded through tax dollars.
CSBA, which is suing the state over inadequate funding for K-12 schools, paid Plotkin $540,000 in 2007-08, including a bonus of $175,000. That same year, Plotkin, used his business credit card to draw $11,000 in cash advances at casinos.
A CSBA spokeswoman would not disclose Plotkin’s current salary, and CSBA President Frank Pugh wouldn’t give the answer to another obvious question: What will be Plotkin’s retirement package through the California Public Employees Retirement System? Both said the information is confidential. Pugh said that CSBA would hire an independent firm to review salaries and expenses. What he should have promised is that the CSBA would make those findings public.
A records check of the most recent tax filings by the Sacramento Bee found that Plotkin earled $290,000 in 2005-06, $353,000 in 2006-07 and $365,000 in ’07-08 plus the $175,000 bonus. The base pay was $100,000-plus more than that earned by CEOs of similar California associations that represent local governments.”
What the Hell? The CSBA will not tell The People what their employees are being paid which are being funded by the Taxpayer or give us information on their public pensions? What is this Hitler’s Germany that we have going on in California? Are there now out of control dictators running these publicly funded organizations in the state of California?
OUTRAGEOUS!
Educated Guess continues….
“Last week, Sacramento TV station KCRA first revealed the use of the business credit card for gambling expenses. Plotkin said he repaid CSBA the money, and KCRA said records show that he did. But in an interview with the station, Plotkin said that the CSBA board of directors was aware of the use of the money and that he had taken a 4 percent pay cut this year. In his resignation statement, Plotkin acknowledged both statements were untrue.
Along with lobbying for school districts in Sacramento, CSBA offers an extensive range of seminars and trainings in governance and finances that are supposed to prevent the embarrassments and improprieties in which CSBA now finds itself. The $5 million in dues that districts pay to CSBA is a small fraction of 1 percent of state funding of K-12 schools and a small piece of CSBA’s largely fee-based budget. But the high salary and loose control of expenses won’t help CSBA’s lawsuit for more funding – at least not in the court of public opinion.
“Hearing about this compensation package is absolutely incredulous and undermines any moral authority that CSBA had in filing their lawsuit,” Sen. Gloria Romero, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, told the Bee”
No Damn Kidding Glorio Romero, but then you are one of the ABSOLUTE BUFFOONS in Sacramento that has made a specialty of wasting the People’s Money and Time over the past few years!
Yes, we would say that Scott Poltkin’s salary, credit card use, pension (which will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the rest of his life), and behavior are “troubling.” Actually they are much worse that that, Poltkin’s behavior goes to heart of what is wrong in America today and that is that government workers across the board Don’t Give Two Rips about anything but their own precious hides and if they have to bankrupt a city, a county, a state or even the entire American Republic so they can haul down big salaries and big pensions then the will do exactly that 100 out of 100 times.
Do you think this story on Scott Poltkin is an isolated case? Please, there are thousands just like him across California and America and when the full extent of the damage that the Poltkin’s of the world have done to our nation the American People are going to be extremely pissed off!
Hell, they are already Pissed Off, but less than .0000000000001 percent of what these Bastards have been up to has even made it in the public forum to date…..
It’s coming though, oh it’s coming and eventually the American People are going to start throwing these “public servants” in jail and start holding them accountable for their OUTRAGEOUS and TOTALLY UN-AMERICAN behavior and activities! And when that starts to happen guess what? All of this OUTRAGOUES behavior by government workers will come to a screeching halt because these SOBs will realize that they will give away their freedom if they dare try to steal from the AMERICAN PEOPLE….who own this Damn Country in case you forgot that little factoid!
