The (b)Rats Are Scurrying without a Clue?

In a local paper I read some amazing recaps of what was going on locally:
(1) Financially distressed Victorville is going to sue our Homeland Security Department over the government's ending of the EB-5 visa program Victorville was using to raise capital[putting aside the loss of American jobs and the misdirection of City resources to help foreign investors over Victorville residents] suing Homeland Security is stupid!--the city's lawyers must think they can do what "Alan Shore" of "Boston Legal" fame occasionally did for clients--sue the federal government for principle's sake--yeah right, like that is going to last past a early termination motion brought by the feds [don't these City Councilpeople read the statutes which set out the discretion & immunities Homeland Security has? Oh yeah I forgot, they did not read the Redflex Redlight camera contract either]--WHAT A MONEY WASTE!!
Victorville should be firing their lawyers, not giving them more work! Thank you Councilwoman Valles for voting against the stupid lawsuit!
(2) Financially distressed San Bernardino County is in a fight with SEBA (the union for the District Attorneys, their investigators, evidence handlers, etc) over a pay & benefit cut and now seems willing to take back to the membership a pay and benefit cut proposal [duh....the entire legal community is going through financial crises...our costs increase, many people can't afford to pay for legal services except at a fraction of what they did just a few years ago, the delays mount getting cases to trial--if a 7% cut is all that is in issue--take it, move on, save money to make up the difference]--No one is saying the hard-working SEBA people don't deserve it--God knows they do but SEIZE THE MOMENT SEBA MEMBERS -- once those jobs go, it will be a long time before they start coming back! I remember when Arnold S. took over after the recall campaign and the CTA (California Teachers' Association) went to him first, cut a deal minimizing their losses and left all the other unions hanging without contracts or facing a scap over what was left. Maybe a lesson to be learned/taken to heart!
(3) Financially distressed school districts in San Bernardino County are footing the bill on more needless litigation [the "Public Safety Academy" Charter is now in litigation over the firing of the founder's wife]--putting aside the conflict of interest question, this expense will take away from the money for student services--is anyone investigating if there is an abuse/misuse of public funds here??]
The Charter School movement has had its distractors, but THIS CLEARLY IS A MISPLACED USE OF SCHOOL RESOURCES!!
.
This list is partial--there are the lawsuits involving Kenneth Beck against the Thouvenell campaign (?), the Rancho Cucamonga public employee pension plan restructuring talks, the San Bernardino City public employee pension plan restructurting talks breakdown-- a lot is in play.
