What a Fine Kettle of Fish & 3 Sets of Double-Dippers=government employees running for the same office.              October 19, 2012        
\n  
\nBY THE GOVERNMENT & FOR THE GOVERNMENT<\/p>\n

Conflicts of Interest!    Feather Bedding!    Growing Government!        Double\/Triple\/More-Dippers!<\/p>\n

The individuals listed below are a microcosm of the huge numbers of state & local government Double-Triple Dippers which are striving to expand their economic base while increasing their influence in government i.e. a protection racket. The following are active, appointed, hired, or retired government personnel seeking further government employment, with one exception.<\/p>\n

1.    Bill Gossage (R)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dAsst. Superintendent of Ozark schools\u00e2\u20ac\u201dvying for a House seat.
\n2.    Betty Overbey (D)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dRetired State Revenue Agent\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcurrent State Representative seeking re-election\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhusband worked as Aid last session. Supports adding 1\/4 million Arkansas residents to welfare rolls (Medicaid).
\n3.    Stephanie Malone (R) \u00e2\u20ac\u201cMarketing Director Ft. Chaffee Redevelopment Authority\u00e2\u20ac\u201dState Representative seeking re-election. (A twin)
\n4.    Tracy Pennartz (D)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dNavy, Western Arkansas Counseling & Guidance Center, now runs Pennartz & Associates (source of revenue?) counseling business, termed out state representative\u00e2\u20ac\u201dseeking a state senate seat. Supports adding \u00c2\u00bc million Arkansas residents to welfare rolls.(Medicaid).
\n5.    Doris Tate (D)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dRetired Sebastian County Clerk seeking Malone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seat\u00e2\u20ac\u201dif elected would be enabler for open borders, more illegal cheap labor championed by the Chambers of Commerce for which she works. Supports adding \u00c2\u00bc million Arkansas residents to welfare rolls (Medicaid).  (A twin)
\n6.    Charlotte Douglas (R) \u00e2\u20ac\u201cRetired School Teacher\u00e2\u20ac\u201dseeking State House Seat. (A twin)
\n7.    Steve Breedlove (D)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dRetired 2 term State Legislature, former school teacher & administrator\u00e2\u20ac\u201dseeking same House Seat as Douglas. (A twin)
\n8.    Gary Deffenbaugh (R)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dRetired School Teacher\u00e2\u20ac\u201dState Representative seeking re-election\u00e2\u20ac\u201dVan Buren.
\n9.    Kathy Guthrie (D)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dChief Deputy Circuit Clerk\u00e2\u20ac\u201dseeking office of Sebastian Co. Circuit Clerk. (A twin).
\n10.    Denora Coomer (R)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dCircuit Court Administrator (25 yrs)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dseeking office of Seb. Co. Circuit Clerk (A twin)
\n11.    Jim Medley (R)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dCEO of Area Agency on Aging-(Fed. & St. $,s..a tax eating behemoth)–6 years in State Legislature, seeking J.P. seat
\n12.    Ken Pyle (R)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dRichard Griffin enabler at HUD\u00e2\u20ac\u201dNavy, Westark\u00e2\u20ac\u201dreportedly receives 3-5% of every federal HUD dollar spent locally (incentive to spend more tax dollars?) The Fort Smith Housing Authority run by Richard Griffin & Ken Pyle is legally & fiscally independent (not accountable to) from state & local government, therefore; why is the Fort Smith city government, in land & dollars, subsidizing Griffin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s murky operation with taxpayers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 money? How can the Fort Smith Housing Authority possibly be fiscally independent from state & local government when they are dependent on taxpayer dollars? Are you aware that HUD\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s regional offices now have their own police forces? Why?<\/p>\n

\nGovernment self-servers; all at the expense of the taxpaying producers, in one or more ways.<\/p>\n

Educators are the most dangerous in state government. Why? Their unions (AEA-NEA) have destroyed what formerly was known as Public Schools, e.g. teachers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 unions have become the dominant partner in the relationship with elected officials. They set tax & borrowing decisions. Couple that with P.C. language semantics that people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t understand. Public employee unions negotiate pay & benefits that citizens can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t rewrite (a protection racket).  Public Service Employees\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 pay-scales are on average 21.3% higher than the private sector. Why is this? There is no proportionality between government & private sector pay, in my opinion, a crime. The private sector generates the opulent revenues that subsidize government, for instance government schools are likened to a city-state empire, e.g. Fort Smith School Superintendent Benny Gooden enjoying a year sabbatical in Washington, DC from school duties while carrying out the alleged educational edicts laid out by DC bureaucrats and working to expand the voice and influence of a Superintendent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Union.  The irrevocable tragedy here is simply that local control of schools has been stolen & destroyed by DC bureaucrats, self-serving state politicians and educrats\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.and observe the consequences\u00e2\u20ac\u201dchildren can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t read, teaching the test, inflating grades, dumb down curricula, ad infinitum\u00e2\u20ac\u201dall in the name of keeping the multicultural gulag in a social swirl. Observe Clinton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Goals 2000, Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No Child Left Behind\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Race to the Top\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to the point that education is a former shell of itself resulting in a corrupt numbers game.  By the way is Dr. Gooden receiving his salary while on sabbatical and who is paying his travel and related expenses? FUNDING FOLLOWS FAILURE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe and some members of the legislature are fanning the flames to dump another $53 million into the government school system in the coming 2013 legislative session. More money directed toward school edifices & teachers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 salary increases? If so, another crime perpetrated against the producers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the ways Government employees can & do influence\/abuse the system:
\nFor example\u00e2\u20ac\u201da school teacher seeking a state house\/senate seat.
\n1.    Legislative sessions on average last 4.5 months=a school semester, does the district need the teacher? Answer, no. Meetings and travel can easily add up to 6 months per year.
\n2.    A plethora of perks continues. Most of which are not available to the private sector.
\n3.    The above practice lends itself to feather bedding, e.g. every school district regardless of size is overrun with deputy, assistant, etc. Superintendents\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6a vulgar waste of taxpayer money.
\n4.    FOIA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reveal that in some cases partial or full salaries are being paid to government employees while the legislature is in session. A case in point, Supt. Bill Gossage, what financial arrangement is in place should he be elected? Is he really needed?
\n5.    The AR. State Legislature is infested with government employees.  More influence wielded by public service unions, not available to the private sectors who subsidize Government union employees.
\n6.    Public service unions set tax & borrowing decisions rather than follow from them. All government branches are unionized. Whose interest do you believe government employees represent first\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyours or theirs?<\/p>\n

Citizens, if you support efforts to reduce the size of government, want no more precious  freedoms stolen, lower taxes; the cessation of ever increasing numbers in government– employment\/salaries\/pensions\/leave times, etc.  a vote for a government employee is indeed self-destructive.  If both candidates for the same office are already receiving government checks, refuse to vote for either, show your disdain for their unethical conduct.<\/strong>

\nA FACT: THE U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS PUT ARKANSAS IN THE TOP 5 STATES IN THE COUNTRY IN GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT JOBS—MELD THIS WITH THE EXTREME TAX BURDEN ARKANSAS LEGISLATORS, COUPLED WITH PAST & PRESENT ARKANSAS GOVERNORS HAVE LEVIED AGAINST ARKANSAS CITIZENS IS OBSCENE AND BORDERS ON CRIMINALITY. <\/strong>
