I would be more than happy to pass your name(full name); address; and telephone number on to them. Please provide that information in your next reply.

It is up to them to contact you. So far you have only shown yourself to be an obfuscating pis mouth misdirecting off topic of the true wealth held by your local governments as shown in their Annual Financial Reports, so I personally do not know how you could contribute to the groups. But you never know, they might want a token shill at one of their meetings just for the entertainment value.

If you are not willing to provide your compete name and contact information, I and the rest of the readers of this site I am sure will understand..

Oh really? Right, I’ll bet. So if you’re all about transparency and accountability, shouldn’t we all know who they are? Or do these “study groups” only exist in your obviously fevered imagination. Please Water, do tell.

The Washington State Office of Financial Management says that Initiative 1033 would severely impact state and local government.

In their words “The initiative reduces state general fund revenues that support education, social, health and environmental services; and general government activities by an estimated $5.9 billion by 2015. The initiative also reduces general fund revenues that support public safety, infrastructure and general government activities by an estimated $694 million for counties and $2.1 billion for cities by 2015″

This is the impact Tim doesn’t want you to see. Read it yourself.

Vote No on I-1033 this November 3, 2009!

Per the comments you made: Your brain reminds me of a pea rolling down a four lane highway. Let me take a guess, a government employee? Possibly an attorney?

The issue is not how expressive you can be in falsely slandering me, the issue is the “Wealth Held” by your local governments. Your misdirection tactics of attacking the messenger hoping the reader of your tripe may be complete idiots that give one shred of credence to your comments won’t get over on the majority these days. That type of tactic has been worn out by government crap for way to long.

Several individuals from the City of Burien and County of King have already informed me this week that they are starting local government study groups between their friends and neighbors to get a clear look and understanding of their local government CAFRs and also hopefully some true accountability.

So Joe PO in the wind and don’t get to wet.. You won’t get a towel to dry off with from this end.

Well let’s see if we can find a few dollars lying around here and there within the Burien 2008 CAFR – http://www.burienwa.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=969

Sections 5.4 through 6.10 would be a good place to start. A million or two could be skimmed off the top between those pages without to much difficulty.

Then maybe a look through the WA Local Government Investment Pool.

The City of Burien had a mere $17,208,083.27 invested there in 2008 (page 43) and King County $360,100,658.44 Again, short of funds? They appear to be cash and income rich to me…

But then that is what happens when you give a kid carte blanch to write his own allowance each week, he takes more than he should and wants more..

The people better look closely at what is there already, what is being done with it, and find out if a financial shell game is being played out to their disadvantage..

You were not intended to look due to the money and perpetual elevating of control over you evolved, but it is time that you do look even though you have been kept in the dark for so many years as fortunes big and small were made and spent at your expense and done so primarily without your cognitive thought applied that would have stayed the expansion..
