A picture is worth at least a Billion dollars when dealing with fraud and corruption in our California Pension system. Review the data below taken from the SBCERS pension fund history.

 So they say a picture is worth a thousand words, wrong because in this case a picture is worth Billions and Billions of dollars. I hope you understand the reason why I shared with you how my curiosity works in yesterdays posting? It is not some huge conspiracy issue with me, no not at all, It is just see a point of un-clairity and ask or research what is needed to bring the facts forward. Now today's posting will be short on words buy HUGE on CONTRADICTIONS. How can the SBCERS pension fund be 87% funded and hold 212,864 dollars in assets per member one year. When earlier they claimed to be 100% funded yet only held 170,931 in assets per member? The math will not allow for the fraud and misrepresentation that we are all lead to believe. After you review these most recent posting lets be honest there is no way our SBCERS pension fund has any UNFUNDED FUTURE LIABILITY. Now the last picture I share on today's posting is the other 15 County's with very similar Investment Returns from 1996-2000 as Santa Barbara taken from our grand jury's report. Than we have to ask the question have we the tax payers of California been ripped off County by County through our pension funds? Is there really any doubt with what little I have already supplied you. Please start sharing these pension fund postings with as many people as possible. We need to take California back and get our economy moving again.

      Please click on any picture below and they will open up to there own window for your review.

The above chart is taken from the 2003/04 report to our California State Controller. When you review the Data you see the SBCERS pension fund is reported to be 87% funded and yet has 212,864 dollars in assets per member WOW

This data is also from 2003/2004 and clearly has issues with missing data. I show this picture to verify in the year 2000 the data reflects that the SBCERS pension fund is 100% funded

In this report from 2000/2001 we see the SBCERS pension fund reported as 100.2 % funded and holding 170.931 dollars in assets per member.

This picture again shows in 2000 SBCERS pension fund was 100% funded

Why was the public making all these payments because that is where the funds really come from.

Jason Huerta you are missed by us All!

This is an old posting but I have been missing Jason these past few weeks and felt I should repost what I had written about him. To the Huerta family I Love You,


Larry


You see as it turns out I have to go to court and testify in a Civil Trial next week and that bothers me. Based on my experiences with the Courts and local law enforcement I have fears that something bad could come out of something that is already so wrong from the start. I will warn you now that this posting will be filled with smiles and a few loving tears because my life includes all of you. I first want to let you into some of my beliefs and the cost I bare for such convictions. Wow this opening up to you all on this first point which is probably going to be the hardest thing I have ever shared about myself. About ten or eleven years ago one of my sons had some medical problems regarding a growth in his nasal cavity.. He was a young teenager and so much braver than I could ever be. Now I will be the first to admit an outsider might finish reading this story and say damn that was a lot of hard luck. No I have been blessed with this life and its experiences and because of that I was so well prepared for the challenge of these last four years. However as a parent my greatest hope has always been that because of my walk in life and how I dealt with it, my children would be able to leap frog to an even greater walk of life. Now we did the medicine thing, the wait and watch thing and it was decided that an out patient procedure would be needed. My In laws and my Dad came up to Stockton and Julie and I were already so nervous as the day arrived. So here we are all at the hospital waiting for the good news and relief direct from the doctor’s mouth as he met us after the procedure. As I recall he spoke directly to my father in law Ken and I and that was when my worst fears were answered. As it turns out there was more to this growth than originally thought, and even after this procedure we new little more than before. The doctor told us it could be this or IT COULD BE THAT. If it was this it would entail that HOWEVER IF IT WAS THAT WELL IT WOULD REQUIRE A VERY SERIOUS OPERATION BY A VERY SPECIALIZED DOCTOR. Now as much as I have said I have enjoyed my life I never said it was easy. My wife and her mom waited for my son and Ken and I left before them home but I already knew. I knew that because of how my life played out my son was not going to have an easy time of it and that ate at me. Now at the same time here in Santa Barbara my lifelong friends Joel and Sonya had learned there son Jason had leukemia and he was in for a battle that would finally claim his life. Let me tell you all how proud I am of Jason Huerta and how his heart and courage carried all of us through his ordeal. In one of our trips home for Fiesta Jason saw me at De La Guerra Plaza and came up and greeted me. So brave and happy, I remember having to excuse myself several times as we chatted because I didn’t want him to catch me crying or see me wipe my tears away. As Jason and I talked I promised to visit him and bring him my prized Kobe Bryant rookie card. Some time passed and I was true to my word and went to his grandparents home to surprise him. He was much sicker than and I began to really worry that we would lose him to God. Jason told me he was off to the City of Hope Hospital. He also told me that he liked the Redskins hat I was wearing. I asked him to contact me once he and Sonya had got settled in and I would send him a hat as well. A few weeks passed and I got worried because I had not heard from Sonya or Jason so I called his Grandparents house. As it turns out he had slipped into a coma the day before and I was never able to say good bye or give him his hat before he passed. Now when you grow up buddies as Joel and I have you share many experiences, backing each other up in many areas. I was so hurt and felt Joel and Sonya’s pain I could not attend Jason’s funeral. You see while this was going on my son had to go through 3 or 4 more procedures and the operation was so delicate they feared his facial features could be altered. The tumor had grown to the size of a tennis ball and I was a wreck. You see I to feared even though it was so remote I could also lose my son to god. An the problem was that during this time because I loved Joel, Sonya and Jason so much and respected there situation I could not ask God to love my son more than Jason. I did not know how to ask God for what I perceived was more than what I had a rite too. I did not feel that my needs no matter how personal to me they were, did not make them greater than any one else. I hated myself for this view yet I believed who was I to think my needs were more important even if it meant I might lose my son. To this day I doubt my ex wife, my son’s or family ever understood what I was going through. It is a complex point to make and I hope some how you can understand what I am trying to share.



A couple more quick stories and I will finish. Have any of you ever heard of the littlest Hobo that lived in Santa Barbara ? Well 25 years ago or there about Julie and I were downtown shopping around Christmas time and we saw what looked like a homeless couple with an infant baby. I was cold that day so when I say the baby in a tee shirt Julie knew right away I wanted to give the couple money. We walked a very short distance and Julie said how about we buy the baby a blanket or some cloths, she knew it was bothering me. We turned around and looked and looked but we could not find the couple or the baby. Well a few days later the story in the Santa Barbara New Press read “ The Littlest Hobo had died”. In the time it takes to blink an opportunity could be lost and losing 1 more child is 1 child to many. Now I know that her death was not my fault but could we have made a difference? Please don’t wait any longer in dealing with our youth. If there are things we can do, don’t stop those who are trying because of selfish or petty reasons. Some times in life things are bigger than our own needs and our failing to recognize this can and does have a harmful effect on all of us.



I have never shared my thoughts about my Son or Jason with anyone but God before tonight. I am not sure that the story is even relevant other than to say I am harder on myself than anyone could be. That what I believe in my heart shows through my actions. Never let a man with no vision tell you what you can see, never let a man who has sold out his true beliefs be the standard in which you seek to obtain. We are better than what we have shown but we must begin to show just how much better we can be. We are Americans and it is sad and it is true we have a gang problem, an American youth gang problem. What is yet to be determined is how we will go about correcting and interacting with the role society has already played. Regardless of blame our youth do not rise with the sun each morning and asking for the abuse’s they have been exposed to. How do we go about solving such a dilemma?



One last story and I will leave you alone until my next posting. Many years ago Julie and I had decided on the New Year to bite the bullet and buy our family our first computer. It was to be considered everyone’s birthday present for the year. So he man me sets the computer up and to my surprise it actually worked. With my elementary school aged child Manuel looking on I was stuck and could not get to where I wanted to go on the computer. My son tried to offer his opinion and I cut him off. Several more minutes pass and my frustration was growing. There was Manuel trying to share something with me and I repeatedly kept cutting him off. Finally with a little fatherly attitude I turned to my son and said” Son I am trying to learn this so I can teach you”. My son said “dad you need to hit file so you can exit and get where you want to go”. We cannot expect to understand or improve our view of what our youth feel with out asking for there in put. It would not surprise me that after we get ourselves out of our own way our youth can and will lead us to the type of society in the future that the history books will praise for all eternity. You see the true Magic is in there hearts and brains and they will not fail us.



All I ask is that if you like what I have shared with you please share it with others, failing our youth is not an option.





Best Regards to all

SBCERS Pension fund UAAL Amortization Rates as of June 30,3008. Fraud and corruption through out the history of the Santa Barbara County Pension Fund!

    Well I am sitting here today and trying to think of how I can best explain why I do what I do. No I am not talking about rehashing my personal experiences but rather where do my concerns come from? You see once in a while when I write about a specific topic you might think at first glance why would any one question this or that. Even though I am trying to better explain my actions that is not to say people are doubting me. Oh no in fact it is because of all the positive feedback that I wish to strengthen my positions and actually get a stronger bond between you an I. As an adult my back ground was in automotive repairs, as a service or store manager. When Julie and I bought our first home I really fell in love with the mortgage industry. At one point after only two years in the mortgage field I worked my way up to Internal Sales Manager of the western United States for a sub-prime mortgage company. The sad thing is I must have worked for the only sub-prime company to get out of California in the last 15 years. My point is this I loved mortgages because everything had to balance. I had to know my rules and regulations front-wards and backwards. My percentages of income to debt, tax benefits and the characteristics of every lender I worked with. An that is how I look at these issues I write about. Here are a few quick examples of why I have questioned a particular subject that I research.

1- In January of 2010 Colleen Sterne is appointed to our Santa Barbara Superior bench by Governor Schwarzenegger . While reading about her appointment one media story said she kept her seat till 2012 and in another story Judge Sterne said her term ran six years. My concerns here were two fold . I was concerned that the Governor had stepped in and appointed a temporary fill in when that Judicial seat could have been decided in a general election in about 5 months. An what was the reason for two different answers in Judge Sternes length of term. As we all know those simple concerns have lead us to find that the possibility of election fraud may exist by many of our California Superior Court Judges.

2- Lt. Governor Maldonado and the property listed on his Form 700 disclosure at 1430 S.E. street Santa Maria Ca 953458. I saw that the parcel  had been assessed for the tax year 2010. Yet the last property tax billing for this 10,000,000 dollar property was in December of 2006. So I ask why is that? I than tried and Google or Yahoo directions to that address and some how there is no 1430 S. E. Street. So once again I start to wonder. Now I currently have a personal issue with our County and my past property taxes before the Tax collector as we speak. I had questioned some past accounting practices with that office over a year ago but was stone walled. What concerns me most about my whole issue is that the dates and payments in question, well lets just say the county is reporting to me there computer files have been corrupted. They have no idea who there dealing with do they! I have just been so busy I have not created a posting yet on my property tax issues. One last thought someone did challenge me about my concerns with Mr. Maldonado's property listed above. Funny thing is when I asked him to post his source and findings he went away?

3- The Santa Barbara County Pension Fund
Now I took a stab in the dark here. I wanted to prove the impossible and gain creditability so that my other concerns could be dealt with in a manner they deserve. But this is where everything really changed for me. Some how I put most of my personal baggage behind me and really started looking at our Government, Wall Street and all the insanity that is killing our Country. Real quick here I took a suspended prison (felony)term for a misdemeanor charge and because of that I lost my real estate license.  Goldman Sachs and half of Wall Street are involved in lawsuits and paying back billions of dollars, yet they can still remain active. An how did Goldman Sachs and others lose there court cases? By someone presenting the Business, Professional, Criminal law violations they had committed in Civil court, and to me that is just insane. Where are the treason and criminal charges so these types of crimes against our economy will stop once and for all? So now back to SBCERS and why I looked into them. For starters if you just lost 143,000,000 dollars in 2008 why would you still expose the fund to further loses of the exact same type and that at one point would later hit as high as 422,000,000 dollars in losses for 2009? The real reason though is I just felt that there was misrepresentation by our elected officials specifically Robert Geis, in his White  paper written in June of 2006  several things still bother me about that document. You can find a copy of the "White Paper: @ http://www.countyofsb.org/auditor/default.aspx?id=1234.
In this document lets start with the opening paragraph that claims the pension fund lost 464,000,000 dollars between 12/31/1999 an 12/31/2002. That is kind of hard to believe since 180, 000,000 was removed as "excess funds" in 99 for starters. Now that amount was equal to 17% of the funds total value or just about 1/6th. Wow an that folks is more than just pulling "EXCESS RETURNS" and should take a vote by this county's taxpayers!. An in a later Grand Jury report they represent the SBCERS pension fund as being fully funded in 2001. Like I have said contradiction after contradiction. If there was nothing else I would have done research but there is just miles and miles of misrepresentation and flat out fraud. Santa Barbara's Elected officials must be held accountable and under penal code 925 our Grand Jury must investigate these discrepancies in accounting.

So today's posting is really just about some charts and graphs and how much they seam to prove absolutely nothing that there were supposed to. In fact they will leave you wondering what else I have to bring forward. Let me ask you this; In 2002 as reported to the State Controller of California the SBCERS pension fund held in assets 169,000 dollars per member. In 2004 it held 213,000 per member in assets. How than could the alleged unfunded liability grow during the same time period as our assets per member grew, those two numbers tend to work in just the opposite of each other.. When the Ventura or VECRA pension fund held 216,000 in assets per member they were 120% funded at the time. So I start and share with you the amortization payment schedule and move on from there.

 As always I ask that if you have enjoyed this posting please share this and my other works with as many people as you can.

 Click on any of the charts or pictures below and they will open up to there own window!

In this chart above we find that even though funds have been allotted for amortization payments that does not mean payments were actually needed. I just wonder what must happen to account for the over the 100,000,000 dollars that were not needed after all? How do those funds get redistributed in the county budget and why has the public not been made aware of these facts? Look to the far right column to see what I am talking about.

In this chart we see that the actual market performance was above the required amount and for many years there could be no unfunded future liability!

 The chart on top contradicts Robert Geis and his 2006 document that claims the fund lost over 400 Million dollars between 12/99/and 12/2002! It also shows that the fund was solvent even if for a brief moment in 2007. When the lines intersect that would reflect that the past amortization payments would cease until a new unfunded liability showed up. Now the chart below is the exact same chart only this chart reflects there was always an unfunded liability issue with the SBCERS fund. Some "Magical" way the lines on the bottom chart never intersect. Now do you see the problem here and we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars! Now neither of these charts seam to reflect the market value of the fund as the chart above does in relationship to the green line..

 Now the chart above shows a strong and healthy Pension fund although you cannot see where 180,000,000 dollars had been removed in 1999 as reported by Robert Geis in the "White Paper". The chart below shows two negative years in terms of investment returns 1994 and 2001. The chart above shows no such losses.   Hundreds of millions and I believe eventually we will be talking about over 1 BILLION DOLLARS in CORRUPTION an FRAUD. I am just scratching the surface. All these documents were supplied by our Santa Barbara County and the SBCERS pension fund!

More California State Controller reports from 1996- 2007 involving all of the different California Pension funds can be found @ http://www.sco.ca.gov/ard_locrep_retirement.html 

SBCERS pension fund math fraud. Do the average rate of return on invetment from 1996- 2000 and see for yourself

Wow based on the story below that appeared in Mondays Santa Barbara news press one would have to think we are really in trouble when it comes to our county SBCERS pension fund. Which is just the opposite of what I have been writing about since I decided to look into the SBCERS pension matter last April. Last week I announced that I was waiting for the right moment to share the truth about our County SBCERS pension fund fraud and corruption. By the end of this year I will provide you all with document after document that fraud has indeed been committed and I will use the County as my source to prove this. The sad part is that our county is not the only county or pension fund to commit such acts. An when we look further into these matters we will come top realize the actions are committed by one elected official after an other. Lets clear up one misnomer I have with pension fund accounting and lets see what you all think,
  
     In my earlier research I have shown that in the time period from 1996 to 2000 16 California county pensions had an average on investment returns of 14.84% a year for the entire 5 year period. Or in other words enough return in just 5 years to more than double there value from the entire previous 50 years of there fund performance. Now the document that I used to come up with this finding has since been pulled from it's spot on the Santa Barbara Grand Jury's web page. Luckily for us all I have the site where that reference material can still be pulled from @
 http://www.sbcgj.org/2000/aud_fin.htm.

    This great when you realize the SBCERS fund was shooting for an 8.16% benchmark rate of return. But wait a minute with a Consumer price index assumption of 4.75 included in the 8.16% assumption value.  That same 5 year period our fund actually did more than doubled it's required rate of return.  You see of that 8.16 assumption 4.75% was eaten up by the C.P.I. So  4.75 %- 8.16% = 3.41% real rate of return needed for our SBCERS fund to remain solvent. Think of the C. P. index as an adjustable mortgage rate index factor and you will understand this all just fine. So 14.84 - 4.75 C.P.I. = 10.09% real rate of investment return per year. Than divided 10.09 by 3.41 = 2.96 times greater Or in other words the pension funds actual  performance on a yearly basis (1996-2000) was 3 times greater than required per year.
Now stop and go back over that again until you see what I am saying. How can a pension perform 15 times greater than the real rate of return of 3.41 in a 5 year period and now be under funded by 1,000,000,000 dollars? I have enclosed two 20 year charts provided by the SBCERS pension fund for your review.

You see we only have to subtract the C.P.I. index once per year against actual performance regardless of high much it over performs.

Than another problem with these two charts shows that the SBCERS pension fund was only actually expecting a 8.16% rate of return for 2007,2008, an 2009. When we have been told over an over for the last 20 years 8.16% return has always been our goal. Since the 2009 C.P.I. index is a negative number the effect of that poor year actually means the damages to our fund could be as much as 6% less than reported . When your talking about an alleged 388 million dollars in losses well that could mean  a lot of fraud has been transpiring for years.

I could sit here and break this down that way or this way but why bother. There is something wrong with California Pension plans and the public has been treated as fools. An to my Dad thank you for the encouragement to keeping up the good work. One man can make a difference an I am just such a man!

Editorials: Our Opinion: County pension fund cited in state, national media and Magic's Blog!

The issue of public employee pensions is a state and national problem, but it requires a solution in Santa Barbara County.
December 5, 2010 7:53 AM
Santa Barbara County's pension fund is increasingly mentioned in national and state media as one of the public pension funds in California that is in particularly bad shape.
Steve Malanga is one of the top business and urban writers in the nation. He is an expert on public employee union pensions. A senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute in New York, he recently identified Santa Barbara County's pension fund as among those in California that bear attention.
Discussing the issue of public employee pension funds generally in the United States, Mr. Malanga wrote:
"California is in particularly bad shape. San Francisco and Los Angeles are among the places with the greatest liabilities among cities, amounting to $34,940 and $18,643 per household, respectively. Their combined pension debt of $33 billion is in addition to some $600 billion in Golden State unfunded liabilities. Also on the watch list from California are a host of other cities and counties, including Contra Costa County, Santa Barbara County and the city of San Jose. Los Angeles County . . . has its own woes with a staggering $27 billion in unfunded liabilities."
The issue of public employee pensions is a state and national problem, but it requires a solution in Santa Barbara County. A recent report by Joe Nation of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research on unfunded local government liabilities also is of interest.
Dr. Nation is no conservative. He is a former member of the California Assembly who was principal co-author of Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act.
According to the Stanford report, in June 2008 Santa Barbara County showed $245 million of unfunded liabilities in its pension fund, but if the rate of future return on investment were lowered from 8.16 percent (the current figure) to 6 percent, then unfunded liabilities ballooned to $1.177 billion. If the rate of return were lowered to 4 percent, unfunded liabilities would increase to $2.433 billion.
Moreover, these data were from before the stock market crash of 2008 and 2009. Unfunded liabilities are even more now.
Both Republicans and Democrats should support public employee compensation reform, especially of pensions. What sense will it make to have a county pension program paying out $200 million per year — which will be the case in another 15 or so years — when the county general fund is now only $200 million per year?

Existing public sector pension benefits are unsustainable. A Santa Barbara County commission is to report soon with recommendations for changes in the county's pension program. It will be vital that this results in a broad conversation, and that existing county employees' pensions are modified in future contracts.

Ricardo Juarez has a new attorney Daralynn Pritz and his case has been sent to the 2nd Appellate District. Was there corruption in this Santa Barbara murder trial?

Attention Danalynn Pritz for Ricardo Juarez's Lawyer,
It is mine and many others opinion that Ricardo Juarez was framed for a crime he may have had only some involvement in. I have seen your court docket and have no doubt that court reporter Sharon Reinhold is stalling on purpose. In another case I have researched she claims to have lost the felony sentencing transcripts all together. As far as the DNA evidence in the Juarez trial Barbara Burns the local forensic officer would not verify how or what was gathered and sent to the lab while she took the stand, she said the receiving lab would have to answer those questions about her work. There is a clear picture in the Santa Barbara Independent showing Mr. Juarez in hand cuffs still wearing his gloves and shoes both allegedly later contained DNA evidence. As for the Whisper tape the F.B.I. was involved in some unknown capacity and defense attorney Karen Adkins had to petition the court to try an obtain a copy of the enhanced version. That 3 page motion was filed on 02/21/08, during the trial I am not sure if that indecent was mentioned. The criminal minutes show a clear an bias move to steer this trial to Trial Judge Brian Hill before a preliminary hearing had been scheduled. They accomplished this feat by filing a 170.6 motion against Judge Eskin during PX setting.This type of action was again recently attempted and Judge Anderson let it be known he was unhappy about being ordered to do so with his comments to the media. I have yet to find an 80 page motion that was filed mid December 07 on Mr. Juarez's behalf. Also I have found only a partial motion filed on 08/20/07. During Mr. Juarez's second or third appearance in court the criminal minutes reflect all special allegations had been denied by the court. Finally in a motion filed 1/22/08 by the prosecution 2 things jump out at me from this 30 page document. On page 19 Mr. Franklin makes reference the earlier granting of use immunity for the prosecutions witness Ricardo R. in order to testify against the against the defendant for murder. In line 9 of page 19 of this motion and I quote” Ricardo R. was granted immunity from prosecution for the murder and than testified” when in fact he had already had his case concluded in this matter in juvenile court.I have a second serious concern of misconduct by the Santa Barbara District attorneys office in this same motion and that starts on page 27. On page 27 starting with line four I quote “which simply re-alleges the charge alleged in the felony complaint, upon which defendant was held to answer after a six day preliminary examination.’. While yes it is true that after these matters had been concluded and Mr. Juarez’s charges were dropped a second preliminary hearing would be later held and that proceeding did last 6 days. What I would like investigated is how the District attorney could make a reference to that proceeding which would not take place for at least 2 months into the future. I will take the time to fax you the copies of everything I have just referenced and hope it helps Ricardo. A life was lost and my heart goes out to Angel Linares family. I will sit on any jury and convict a criminal when I am called to do so. All I ask is that our courts and its officers do so in a just and legal manner. This fight was allowed to take place and obtaining the 911 calls will help reflect what really transpired. I have a blog @ www.santabarbaracriminalcourtcorruption.blogspot.com which cover this and other topics. My name is Larry Mendoza sb_magic@hotmail.com, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
