Don't believe it Sonny? I know, my reaction too, however it's actually
worse, this was for just ONE state. If you read "Government Waste a-z",
it has some stuff that would make your hair fall out. Example: Federal
government fritters away at least $375 billion annually on questionable
programs and projects, such as the National Swine Research Center ($13
million), a study on mail-delivery times ($23 million), and the Robert J.
Dole Institute at the University of Kansas ($6 million). Pentagon
recently spent $5 million to build a third golf course at Andrews Air
Force Base, just outside the District of Columbia....
Anyway back to missing vehicles, latest count says 30,000 in the newspaper
today...check this out...what a way to run a government...
"30,000 state vehicles "missing"
Daviid M. Drucker
Staff Writer - Sacramento Bee
SACRAMENTO - California's fleet of state-owned vehicles swelled to 70,000
last year, but officials in an aggressive new asset-management push have
so far been able to pinpoint only about 40,000 of them."
