CROOKED LA UNIONS DEVELOP NEW TACTIC

Unions are looting their own Health Benefits Fund and demanding more money for their insurance payments so they can steal more. So what else is new? Call it the West Coast Offense:

Well how about contributing money to the campaigns of elected officials so the officials have a "conflict of interest" and are prevented by law from engaging in the labor negotiations? That's what they've done and the local elected officials are prevented by law from negotiating. Crooked unions are normal and Los Angeles is now being held up by the union crooks who stole the money. The Health Care issue is a phony here. The union is stealing the money. The pols, all liberal to the core, just stand there. This is what government workers do best. From the local TV "not really news":

MTA officials say an independent audit shows the union has mismanaged the nearly bankrupt trust fund, making the transit agency unwilling to contribute more money without getting a greater role in managing how it is disbursed.

The LA Times is too busy reading Jill Stewart to report on any union corruption; The Daily News reports:

At the same time it was disclosed that the union had sent contributions to most Metropolitan Transportation Authority board members in a half-hearted attempt to disqualify them from participating in contract talks just as Hahn, the councilmen and one other MTA board member have been sidelined.

This is what the Democratic Party has done to the state of California and the city of Los Angeles. And there is no way the crooks in the unions will vote them out. LA Times says zilch because it's the Liberal Left doing the stealing.
