Complete discovery from the top: I was a non -20 -year -old grant manufacturer, first as a member of the California Council for Art, and then for 17 years as a member of the Children and Families Commission of Orange in California.
The California Art Council was dealt with by the relatively small amounts of funds that were approved by the state legislative body. It was a mini-national independence for art.
Contrary to that, Commission “Prop 10” Orange district, As originally known, tens of millions of dollars of cigarette income annually donors in some way somehow, dictated by the language of the initiative approved voters, about “creating children 0-5 and their families healthy and ready to learn” by the time when they they started kindergarten.

The proposal 10 was adopted by voters in California in 1998. Brainchild actor Rob Reiner and former Republican Ambassador Michael Huffington, PROP 10 has laid a 50 percent tax on each cigarette pack. The money raised in this way was divided by 20% of the PROP 10 State Commission and 80% into 58 county commissions. 80% is divided into a population, so Los Angeles, of course, got the most, but Orange County got a big piece every year.

Each County Commission had to have most of its members from the private sector. I placed my hand to be one of five private sector commissioners in our nine commissions, because it was the right money out of the door and I wanted to say that it would be spent.
The “job” required two meetings per month at $ 100 at a meeting without benefits or pension. (Maybe I am among the rare people who are subject to California Law on Political Practice Cairo for more than two decades who have not gathered a pension and who have lost money at each meeting.) There were many domestic tasks, but few staff were made by top professionals, and It was the public service of the old school.
I think that the Orange County Commission, at least, worked well – blocking and dealing with public health, for example, paying school nurses, providing support to new mothers of limited funds, etc. We have revised and, 10 years, brought to Bainbridge Strategic Counseling for Research Our past work and our plans that go forward and propose greater efficiency. The staff was small and excellent. We hired performers whenever we could. We followed the little things.
I would be happy to stay in the commission as long as I could mathematics, but I left California in Virginia in 2016 and, of course, he resigned. I look out for that from afar. He is still doing well, because he was built to resist three large temptations of a grant manufacturer.
The first temptation is that they never examine the effectiveness of support after being done. If the outcomes are not accompanied and cannot be measured by performances, there is a good bet that it is not worth reaching for. Bainbridge handed out external eyes, but from the first day the emphasis was on the outcomes based on data. If the program did not “work”, he disappeared. The first temptation of a grant manufacturer is to never look at what the results of previous expenses are. If Doga works At least that, good.

Another temptation is to give money to your friends. We never approached that line, because the laws in California are very strict about complacency, and nine members have never included shy people. It is far more important: all supports were awarded at public meetings. They are all explained in the materials provided by the public. Grant production should never be done in half light and even less in the dark.
Doge should ask Who made the decisions to allocate money and who was watching. The scandal on EPA seems to be the opposite approach. If you haven’t seen it, watch the Lee Zeldin’s administrator video “throwing gold grids with a Titanic”. Hurry of $ 20 billion through the door after the election is a recipe for aircraft money for friends.
I placed my hand to be one of five private sector commissioners in our nine commissions, because it was the right money out of the door and I wanted to say that it would be spent.
Finally, and the most obvious, the last temptation of the manufacturer of support is self-renovation. It should never be said that a grant manufacturer should never give money to himself or a family member or an organization in which they expect to work. If Doge finds that federal supports have entered the door for recipients where the grant manufacturer has completed his work … Then Doga should call the Pam Bonda Attorney General. It is not “waste, fraud and abuse.” It’s probably a crime.

The end results of Dogea are difficult to predict, but it is necessary to need a light light that shines or promises to shine on support and other discretionary financing by federal agencies. Inspection of recipients and rules for eligibility to ensure that they are obviously understood, easily explained by the applicants and transparently made, has long been despised. No “small supports”. Any support for “A” is a support that is not given “B.” And any support that sounds amazing is.
Dig a deep dog folk. Good grants will not be afraid or hidden.
