Can’t wait for your next article on both Santa Barbara County and City government prohibiting contracts to non-Union local small and mid-sized businesses. Adopted BOS and Council policies discriminate favoring only Democrat controlled union businesses from L.A. and Sacramento that require taxpaid hotel rooms for their union work crews. (My street resurfacing was done by union workers from Elk Grove bringing heavy equipment 250 miles, while Challenge and Santa Barbara Asphalt are a mile away employing local non-union workers. Infuriating, wasteful, and wrong!)

Excellent update on SBA Fraud and DEI Priorities. May the DOGE never end. Too many local men put their clueless wives as company heads to access SBA money; while the Women’s Economic Ventures, along with SCORE - Senior Core Of (volunteer) Retired Executives, actively worked with legit single females determined to start and expand their business. There’s simply no oversight, and too few with personal integrity.

Inspector Generals have failed taxpayers, just as do complicit school bond oversight and other citizen committees in our bureaucrat controlled community.

Appreciate your factual informative articles.

Breathtaking fraud is a gross understatement. Lock them up asap, whichever party they are in. We are being taxed into oblivion to pay for theft, grift, and programs no sane person would endorse. It is pervasive in every branch of the federal government where DOGE has probed. Anyone griping about Elon is obviously full of bovine excrement, and should be pitied and ignored. We desperately need SB DOGE and California DOGE!
