Transparency and accountability is needed at all levels of DDS and regional centers. The hidden slush funds of the non profit agencies in the regional center system dwarf the cost of direct care staff. These non profits do not have whistle blower protection for their staff, are not subject to the FPPC, and are not audited by the state. Follow the hundreds of millions in the Master Trust, the housing agencies, and the vendors sitting on their boards. Thankfully, the new 2013 self-determination law will help reduce fraud and waste by increasing competition, transparency, and accountability.

Segregation is a waste of taxpayer $$$ and human potential! People with disabilities have many gifts that we can bring to the community! We are Not burdens ! We give just as much as we take!

ALL INSTITUTIONS AND SHELTERED WORKSHOPS FOR THE Disability community must be closed! It is like living in a jail just because you are not normal! Its time to shut these places down and reform the long-term care system and pay livable wages to direct support workers of community based mental health and developmental services agencies! Lets gurantee everyone who works in an institution a job in the community with a livable and benefits! People with disabilities Are not broken! Society is what needs to change!

The IRC is the most venal and unprofessional of “ALL” regional centers in the state! This out of control agency should have been closed years ago, and all monies that serve the DD,reallocated to either san berdo County or the private sector. The abuse of pathetic little titles and misuse of governmental funds are only the tip of the iceberg. The scandalous behavior of management and many staff members, would make only the most jaded blush…

There are no ‘morale problems’. How could it be higher, when on any drummed up excuse, you don’t have to go to work, and still get paid. And not lose your job.
Unions, again, using the disabled for the sole purpose of collecting pay checks and pensions and not having to go to work anyways.

Gov has NO business operating large complex organizations that the private sector could do 100 times better.
