From C-SPAN 2 Book Notes schedule:
Plunder!: How Public Employee Unions Are Raiding Treasuries, Controlling Our Lives and Bankrupting the Nation
Steven Greenhut
About the Program
Steven Greenhut takes a critical look at government workers and the unions that represent them. Mr. Greenhut argues that government employees, who receive salaries, benefits, and a level of job security that far outpace workers in the private sector, have become a huge drain on state and federal coffers. He spoke at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Orange, California.
Steven Greenhut, a former member of the Orange County Register’s editorial board, is the director of the Pacific Research Institute’s Investigative Journalism Center and News Bureau in Sacramento. He is the author of “Abuse of Power: How the Government Misuses Eminent Domain.”

Gilbert note: For those living in the COX Communications cable service area of southern OC we will be able to view this 60 minute program on channel 97.
Head to head with CBS’s 60 Minutes.

Been around a while says:
“Head to head with CBS’s 60 Minutes”
Valid comment but its not every Sunday that you can hear and see Steve Greenhut discussing our statewide financial crisis “commercial free.”
You will also listen in as several concerned OC residents participate in the Q& A which follows. Those asking questions include OC Treasurer/Tax Collector Chris Street, Pension Tsunami founder Jack Dean and a few others whom you might be able to identify.
CSPAN 2, eh? I guess old hook-nose is having a tough time promoting his rag. You really have to have no life to watch CSPAN for anything, let alone some talking turd droning on for an hour. I’d rather have an enema.
“I guess old hook-nose”
Nice to know your Neo-Nazi readers are still around.

German spoter. Hook nosed Jew? And you expect us to leave your hateful comment with a link? How do you define a racist?
#3, you’ve obviously already had a cerebral enema.
Well, it is 8:20 PM and I realized that as a Time Warner customer I have no idea if I get CSPAN 2. The one CSPAN I get devoted most of the hour to Ben Bernake.
BAW. Sorry that you were unable to watch the program. It may have been available on line at Twitter.com
I made a VHS copy of the program for Steve as he did not have CSPAN2 access in their new quarters in the SAC area. My sense is that it will re-air at a future date. In the interim I will see if Art can figure out a way to get a copy from CSPAN & link it to our post.
Larry………….agree with you here.
