THIS BATHROOM HANDRAIL COST LAUSD $2,785!!

The biggest problem that drug dealers have isn't selling drugs to their customers, it's figuring out what to do with the obscene amounts of money generated by their illegal operation. LAUSD, with a budget bigger than the City of Los Angeles, has a similar problem. A tip we received from an LAUSD insider accompanied with project cost files once again demonstrates that these people should be prosecuted for the magnitude of their corruption. The source of our tip uses just two seemingly small expenditures -- shade canopies and bathroom handles -- to prove a point. If you really want to be outraged, just pick any school in LAUSD and examine the dubious projects --and their exorbitant costs -- at a time when teachers and staff are being furloughed and students graduate without fundamental knowledge of English and math.
