More evidence for why we need public sector reform

This story about how the San Juan, CA, city manager also doubles as the utilities director provides more anecdotal evidence for how much we need to reform the public sector in this country. You can read about how the "OC Watchdog" discovered the double-dip scam, if I may be so bold as to describe it as such. As you read further, you find that this has happened before in other California cities.

In Vernon, CA, the city manager there was also the clerk, treasurer, finance director, redevelopment director and utilities director, costing residents some $600,000 a year for three decades.

I wonder, dear readers, whether Nevada has similar deals working? If you know of any, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

In the meanwhile, if you want to keep up on the ticking time bomb of the multiple pension crisis facing American taxpayers, visit this site every once in a while.
