Can I say “crappy”? Yes, I believe I can. And did. Apparently, First 5 Los Angeles has accumulated $800 million of taxpayer money that they’re sitting on. They apparently spend $180 million per year but can’t quite spend the whole amount they get … so it sits in the bank. THAT’S OUR MONEY PEOPLE! “An audit by Harvey M. Rose of San Francisco found First 5 LA’s commission was unable to monitor money that was being spent “since monthly programmatic expenditures are not presented relative to a budget.” Auditors also concluded the agency was overstaffed while under-spending on programs for children.” UNABLE TO MONITOR MONEY? That is synonymous with “crappy accounting”
