It seems to me if you are afraid to work for a living, you can start a non-profit...I'd rather give a quarter to homeless people..they're more honest!
I'm sure there are a few charities and non profits that are on the up and up...the Ventura Rescue Mission is good!...
but....and this is a big but...Santa Barbara is full of funny money!
everytime I turn around, there's a questionable non profit org sprouting up like a wine tasting room. There's a guy who gets a lot of his letters printed in the News-Press...Terry Tyler..another anti-labor, goofy looking bald Wendy puppet who used to work for the City of Santa Barbara and failed at a city council attempt...an obviously disgruntled ex-employee.. what's with these guys always ragging on the budgets..the country is going thru a recession dickwad!..and fraud, mismangement and warmongering by the criminal conservatives caused it..PERIOD!!
Tyler's focus is on the city's shrinking reserve, altho still viable at nearly one million dollars.. but he doesn't mention the $16 million in disaster reserves, of course. He wants you to vote in fiscally responsible people next election..so who are his horses? Probably the new guy Thyne, who used Tyler's testimonial on the Goodwin and Thyne realty website...
Put to the Test
Since opening their doors, Goodwin & Thyne Properties has represented many home buyers and sellers who rave about the superior service at a fair price. "Many of our customers have posted letters of recommendation on our website at www.g-tproperties.com" offers Thyne. In one, Terry and Gail Tyler, a long-time successful CPA and his wife who runs an amazing non-profit called JobSmart, helping the homeless to work, said of Goodwin & Thyne Properties, "they handled the contract negotiations, the extensive disclosure requirements, the inspection process, and all the other details right through the close of escrow. Every aspect was handled in a courteous and professional manner, and we saved a bundle with their Sellers' Advantage Program. We have purchased and sold many properties, and we've never had a more pleasant experience than we had with Kevin and John."
I think Thyne's a good guy but his candidacy is dead because he's on probation for drunk driving...not a good thing for your resume, pal..
Ok..now we know some things about Tyler..first he's a CPA..no big deal, but he and his wife also are in tight with another friggin' non profit called Jobsmart...remember..non profits rake in cash and don't pay taxes while they supposedly help others... Tyler has cried to the city council about the homeless derelicts, yet his non-profit is supposed to help the homeless??
His wife, who ain't half bad looking, is executive director of JOBSMART and he is on the advisory board...is he using the non profit for political purposes and to enrich himself instead of helping needy folks find jobs..Did he expect a handout to JOBSMART from the city's reserve?
jobsmart
and what do they really do? a supposed satisfied customer said "I left feeling good about myself, showed up at the job interview, and obtained the job I always wanted"...huh? does real life work like that??? do people really talk like that? NO!
I'm tellin' ya..something is fishy in Santa Barbara..there's more non profits here than street corner liquor stores in east LA.. and the money is shooting through the veins of these people like a heroin addict drunk on Old Hermitage!I wanna see their books..how much they make, their tax statements... the works!! Is it any wonder that the corrupt NewsPress is trying so hard to demonize city workers, when the greedy and crooked folks that caused the whole financial mess are irresponsible friends of the paper, ie, most of the private sector! Tyler seems like just another example of these misfits posing as public saviors..and hiding behind non-profits to escape paying taxes!!
I might just have to go undercover to infiltrate these non profits and see what flushes out...and report back later...
