Editor,

According to U.S. Rep. Tom McClintock, California families might have to pay thousand of dollars because of the EDD fraud. The cost of this could amount to $30 billion or more because of the mishandling of the unemployment EDD payout.

Sorry Linda, that type of malfeasance in the EDD in California is only rewarded by Democrats. The person responsible is Julie Su, head of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. After this debacle, she had been promoted to the Biden administration. You can't make this up. Unfortunately Linda, there goes your accountability, right to the White House with the taxpayers of California left holding the bag. Again.

And let’s not forget the people who will receive 1099G tax forms who will now be responsible for paying taxes on unemployment amounts never received. But why would California care, potentially more money from the federal government for wasteful spending.
