Parks closing due to 22m decefit oh wait we lied we have plenty of money

Kids having fun jumping into the waters at Tomales Bay State Park, in Marin County, Ca., on Saturday July 21 2012. California State Parks have found $54 million which means that the $22 million deficit they said was the reason why they had to close parks was completely false.

LOL this happened at Cal Poly Pomona in '06 or '07. They somehow were missing a ton of money in the budget and were going to fire every math department teacher and close down the entire college of math. :wtf: Students were walking out, protesting, etc. A day before it was supposed to happen, they magically found, iirc, $30 million to be able to keep it open for the year.

The government in California is very messed up system.

While classes get cut, and students have to pay more for school then this happens:

Guessing it was "found" because someone was trying to siphon it off and either got caught or was going to get caught.

To find out who, look at the boss of the guy who was fired/resigned for the scandal.
