Gary Gileno criticizes the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), a hidden shadow government, for excessive spending, raising budgets for existing projects, and starting new projects that the public does not want.  In 2016, the Regional Council passed a plan that will cost half-a-TRILLION dollars!  California raised the state's gasoline taxes to cover this plan.  In his presentation before a video network of empty boardrooms, Gary points out that the projects being undertaken are very unpopular and that the Council is spending too much money on its own facilities while people are literally living in tents on the sidewalk just one block from their extravagant offices. [This video dramatically shows just how far removed government has become from the people it is supposed to serve.] -GEG
