Here's a follow-up on the San Francisco School Board money story I flagged earlier. They wasted or lost (or stole) $300 million, so not they want $1.1 billion to make up for that.
The Board makes Bonnie & Clyde look like rank amateurs. Any sensible local populatace would say, "Until we recover what we can, and jail the people responsible, nobody gets any more money." At the federal level, dropping $300 million is difficult to notice and hardly worth bending over to pick up. But at the city level, this isstill serious money.

They said they'd do better with the next billion we give them. Why don't you believe them? (off sarcasm)
