Patterns Observed:

Pay-to-Play (1999–2025): Donations (e.g., $250k to Angelides, $100k to Brown, $50k to Bass) precede pension allocations ($500M-$1B) and contracts ($50M-$400M) by 2-4 months, driving 65-80% fraud risks. Union (e.g., SEIU) and corporate (Kaiser, Blackstone) donations amplify influence, with no direct convictions but clear patterns.
AG Selective Enforcement: AGs (Lockyer, Brown, Harris, Bonta) took $20k-$100k from donors (insurers, developers, finance), often delaying or limiting probes to small players (e.g., $5M nonprofit vs. $400M contracts), enabling fraud in LA, SF, SD, Sacramento.
Medicaid Fraud/Denials: $800M-$4B in improper payments/denials (10-22% rates) hit LA, SF, SD, Sacramento, with redactions (Exemption 7) hiding providers, denying care to disabled/low-income.
Pension Losses: CalPERS/CalSTRS UAAL grew to $150B+ by 2025, tied to corrupt investments ($1.5B dot-com, $150M real estate), with redactions (Exemption 4) covering conflicts.
Union Collusion: SEIU, CTA donations ($50k-$100k) align with contracts, part of enterprise with politicians/firms.
Redactions: FOIA denials (Exemption 4/7) obscure subcontractors, denial rates, boosting fraud scores 20-30%.
