I dislike being the one to bring this up (because this will make you mad as Hell; don't shoot the messenger, please!) but your town, city, county and state have been withholding a very BIG secret that's needlessly costing A LOT of people their jobs, their homes and their very sanity.

And to make matters even more insulting, behemoth corporations like JP Morgan, Citi, Goldman Sachs, BofA, et al, have been profiting handsomely from this 'second set' of bookkeeping practices [clearly known by every elected official from dog catcher on up the entire political food chain] at your ongoing and distressed expense.

I would REALLY hate to be a local mayor and have to confront some irrate local citizens who found out about this! 

Oregon legislator reads CAFR, finds billions, ends budget deficit crisis; California can do same.
