Topical research demonstrates that both Houses of the legislature are top heavy in government employees, past and present. Bad voter choices.

Government employees are experts in 2 areas …Growing government and Enhancing their protection racket, i.e. government unions.  Example:  the recently revealed fact that over 4,000 Ark. government employees are “double-dipping” $200-300 million per year, mostly school teachers, showing contempt for citizen taxpayers who generate funds subsidizing their corruption.

 Obviously, there is no legitimate oversight of state agencies.

In the same domain, vote buying Pres. Barack Obama awarded $90 million to the failed Ark. school system, its teachers and ancillary personnel Dec. 2010.  The money was awarded as a Stimulus!? Bottom-line, a vote bribe.  A Little Rock legislator dared question the unctuous presentation and a number of teachers attacked the legislator by exclaiming he was “trying to steal their Christmas”.  Teachers received somewhere around $800 each.  The Arkansas teaching establishment showed no shame in their acceptance of the bribe.

Research has shown that some government employees who have been elected to the state house continue to draw salaries& perks from their official employment in addition to their elected positions. In the case of school teachers, the legislature convenes for a minimum of 4 months, meaning that some legislator teachers are absent for the spring semester.   Are these criminal acts?  Arkansas officialdom mum.  If said teachers can be gone a semester they aren’t needed.

More examples:  UAFS Chancellor Beran proposing a duplicitous, costly school at the Mallalieu Church. Ultimately to be attached to UAFS. By what authority, purpose, who pays?  Government schools provide.   There’s also Beran’s farcical school for entrepreneurs at Chaffee Crossing.

The easiest job in the world is spending taxpayers’ money.
