The California State Auditor’s report, released on April 9, detailed multiple “gaps” in accountability in regards to how the money was allocated during the 2018-2023 fiscal years. Lead auditor Grant Parks said the state “has not collected sufficient data” to prove that the billions of dollars improved the situation.

What else does funds to combat homelessness mean? Now the administrators and contractors of the program no longer need to worry about being homeless.

Wow! That makes Chirlane McCray and Warren Wilhelm Jr’s ripoff of NY Taxpayers for a $ billion dollars look like petty theft!

The buffon, clown, and admitted adulterer Newsome and his corrupt staff spent a billion dollars on useless covid masks.

It’s okay. Democrat Governors can be incompetent. Democrat voters don’t understand or care.

I think they are emulating the defence department or maybe state.

I am sure that those who stole the 24 billion dollars are not homeless.

And of course we just passed Proposition 1 for more homelessness tinkering. What could go wrong?

> California Lost Track of $24 Billion… <

I think I just solved the mystery. And it’s not Gov. Newsom’s fault. The naughty kid seen below somehow gained access to California’s bank account.

Every penny went to donors, i.e. real estate developers and homeless “advocates” who will funnel a boatload back to the lobbyists, I mean, legislators, who author the “homeless” initiatives.

Ditto. I’ve done a lot of balance sheet reconciliation. I would find all kinds of junk because some lazy CPA would just “write off” a dime of quarter instead of trying to figure out WHY it’s wasn’t zero.
