“What They Don’t Want You to Know”
…about taxes, pensions, public education and services
Featuring Guest Speaker:
Govern for California President
David Crane
Skyrocketing retirement benefit costs are crushing California’s public schools and universities. From his then-perch on the boards of CALSTRS and University of CA, David Crane presciently sounded the alarm that “they” didn’t want you to hear. He continues to voice concern about where the money goes. Crane now heads Govern for California, which backs political candidates committed to changes that will save California’s public institutions.
