Fund-swizzling fo r ideology 's sake By Lane Campbell State' FMX Forged Pistons WHEELING you now, or have you (213) 359-2415 Call for prices W ill ship 72 0 B ro ad w ay . Chula Vista , CA 9201 0 an ywh ere ..... My, my. When I quitmy job as a welterweight flunky in the aerospace/ defense industry In order to go broke selling motorcycles , I'd thought I'd seen the last of this. Doubledipping. Playing games with timecard charge numbers. Charging company-wide overhead to a specific contract. Make no mistake some of the outfits I used to work for wrote the book. _ They had a pretty simple motive, too . Greed . Nothing more sinister than old-fashioned. warmhearted human avarice. Pad the headcount so we can ask for more money next year. Pretend there's more work to do than there is. H ire PhD 's, not because you need 'em , but beca use all those degrees on the payroll ma ke your project look good _ and expensive. Hey, it was the perfect welfare system for white-collar u nemploya bles; and everybody pla yed the game. We played it so .well we didn't even know we were unemployable - until th e bubble burst and we tried to get real jobs. But that's old hat , now . And the tricks are old. old , old. By now you've surely recognized the same old tricks in the recently-released audit of the Ca lifornia Department of Parks & Rec's handling of the Off-Highway Vehicle Fund : our dearly-beloved Green St ickie program. Old tricks, but with a new twist ; ~ething I've not seen attempted on so grand a sca le in a long , long time . Yes, this pa rticular swizzle of pu blic money has a u nique catch to it. No body lined his poc kets. Nobody's ca mpaign for office was financed - or to rpedoed - with the money. No, this one was for ideology.
