WORK - IN PROGRESS:
June 2015, I wrote the Governor of California-Jerry Brown. Informing him of state administered entities and county administered entities. California is a county administered entity: which nationally the majority of the states are state administered entities. There is a huge difference, that is a forth coming factor. By which Federal block grants and worst, Federal Categorical Grants create inefficiency in state funds from Federal means. Categorical Grants are special interest based Making them dependent on statistical special interest populations state wide:compared to county wide census. Categorical grants could be the equivalent to Affirmative Action, but to a state. The following link, provides a genral understanding of the 1980 era when state had the option/debate of increasing their 10th Amendment rights and how the Federal Government limited those options. (https://www.csmonitor.com/1980/0808/080812.html).
Yet within the state, the needs of the total vary. From county to county the need varies, making some funding not accessible to the entire state total population, thus affecting the states economic status as a whole. This is what urged Arizona in 1995 to decentralize from the Federal Governments D.H.H.S department. The inconsistency of the Federal Government when it came to 1) Administration Changes 2.) Budget Cuts 3.) Block Grants 4.) Budgets Not Being Passed: resulted in a HALT for the citizen within the state. Why should that be! Thus removal from the Federal Governments strangle holding department of D.H.H.S provide the state freedom to tend to each citizens needs within the state and stablize the states economy. By which growth can be derived from citizen incorporation into the tax system (State, County, City).
A state that is concerned with it's economic status, thus can consider: Making the entire state a state of economic security. This mean each citizen in the state (from the first born, to the oldest ) is equally important to the over all needs of the state. Thus education is primary and must be first priority, seeming that is the future. Another example, persons with felonies must have their full citizenship returned. So that they can re-incorporate into the society as TAX PAYERS. Some state have a judicial system whereby a misdemeanor is punishable by 2 years, before the misdemeanor can be squash. Thus making it impossible for the citizen to work for 2 years. That's 2 years of not tax paying possibility for that citizen, and a dependency on the state for 2 years. Such states neglect the obvious factor, that when a citizen is HOMELESS and is given a Trespass violation, resulting in a misdemeanor. The entire state suffers and loses, economically. This is why Felony Reform must occur and it must happen within the state: Instead of Federal mandates.
State dependency becomes a modern problem. It is due to lack of state progression, in regards to federal regimes/administrations that the state (due to lack of 10th Amendment increases). State dependency is no fault of the individual state citizen. It is the fault of the state, by which no progressive legislation has allowed the FREEDOMS allocated in the Bill of Rights to be utilize by a state citizen, who has been removed from the macro society: only to be returned to the macro society. With inefficient rights due to the lack of all of their civil liberties being returned to them. How are they to be benefit the macro, with inefficient rights. They can not even contribute to the entirety of the whole: through taxes. Thus the state becomes responsible and easily incorporates Federal mandates and state legislation that affects the states economy. They create a dependency for some citizens, who would otherwise want to be tax paying citizens.
All of the tax dollars generated when the entire state (highest proportion to population) becomes the total greater GDP of the state. Current problem, a larger number of the total population is exempt due to constraints that are social civic created. All of these socially civic creations are detailed by theorist such as A. Maslow, D. Thoreau even to social revolution theorist Thomas Hobbs and Carl Marxs.
I have written 80% of Regional HUD offices across the nation: detailing to them The Maslow Theorem. http://paulgoree.blogspot.com/2014/11/maslow-theorem-great-society-america.html In 2014 these correspondences/ website links started as private emails and letters. Then they were posted for the general public. In California the regional office for the 3 Western States (CA, NV, AZ) is in San Francisco, CA. As I was disappointed with D.C. HUD grievance procedures by which the Federal government constrains D.C. HUD to grievances that are of a 'discrimination' variable. I was disappointed because all other grievances regarding actions done wrong by landlords or placement services (non-profit/state behavioral services/hospitals/social work agencies) under Categorical Grants are handed over to the regional offices to DELEGATE.
This is wrong,considering the regional offices did not get the option to create the by-laws by which the grants and funds should be administered regionally or state wide. It's like the Federal D.C. saying "DO AS I SAY, AS I MAKE THE RULES and YOU (Regional Offices) DELEGATE MY DIRECT ORDER!" Is that representation of the PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. NO! Then ask about housing problems. Whenever the dictator in D.C. at HUD express any solution: it becomes a complicated trap. Example McKinney and Vento Act 1987. Today that act is the problem by which funds are not getting to those that need it. Only when Obama took office was some financial funds allocated to homeless and soon to be homeless citizens, through the Rapid Re-Housing Program.
California chose to use those funds for the "soon to be homeless citizens". President Obama's plan had two options: The funds are for "soon to be Homeless Citizens" or "Homeless Citizens who met the McKinney and Vento Act of 1 year homelessness resulting in homeless status of habitual homeless. Nothing else has been done, and in the interim of this: Some state have given all behavioral diagnosis that are no longer under DSM 2 purposed in DSM 3. For example in DSM 3 the following is stated: " The evolution
of diagnostic criteria for behavioral disorders involving alcohol reached
a turning point in 1980 with the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (14). In DSM-III, for the first
time, the term "alcoholism" was dropped in favor of two distinct categories
labeled "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" (1,2,12,15). In a further
break from the past, DSM-III included alcohol abus e and dependence in the
category "substance use disorders" rather than as subsets of personality disorders
(1,2,12)." ( DSM 31995 Alcoholism).
It is this kind of determination by which alcoholism at some points became a behavioral diagnosis, making it eligible for McKinney and Vento classification. In the state of Arizona, such behavioral services as South West Behavioral Service, was awarded Categorical Grants for persons with lack of housing, without a behavioral diagnosis. Thus when complications result in a grievance with the Federal Government HUD, it is inappropirately forwarded to Regional HUD. Regional HUD had nothing to do with the legislation of the McKinney and Vento Act or the changes involved with DSM edition changes. So how can regional hud provide a accurate decision on a grievance, that was created by Federal ruling in D.C. and not to the particle factors of a citizen within a state. This is the Federal governments way of sweeping under the rug, civic issues of the poverty and passing it alone to the state.
In California Jerry Brown has to contend with his opposition, which in 2015 made one factor clear. Can the children of California be number ONE for the first time in history. If we can make this possible, then why haven't we. If the California economy is 6th largest in the world, then why are California children not ranking number one in the United States and world. Where are the language options in K-12. Bill Gates once stated that American high school students with a HSD are not globally prepared, seeming they are limited on language options-and can only speak one or two languages. In California I remember 1984, high school reduce language options to only 3 (Spanish, French and German) but increase ESL. SSL should have been a state mandate, providing an advantage to California students. Why was this not done.
