Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA) have joined forces to publish the California Piglet Book exposing some of the worst examples of waste fraud abuse and mismanagement in California’s state and local government.
The California Piglet Book combines elements of two perennial CAGW publications the Congressional Pig Book and Prime Cuts with HJTA’s knowledge of the California state budget. The report is but a sample of areas in the state budget where wasteful or corrupt spending can be eliminated providing a valuable resource to legislators local officials the media and taxpayers.
“Californians are threatened with immense tax increases while the waste and fraud of tax dollars runs rampant” said HJTA president Jon Coupal. “From payroll and pension abuse to tens of millions of dollars for a pretend railroad the California Piglet Book gives enough examples to make any California taxpayer cringe.”
Citizens Against Government Waste is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste fraud abuse and mismanagement in government. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is dedicated to the protection of Proposition 13 and promoting taxpayers’ rights.
