http://familiesthatwork.org/index.htmlI don't let myself get that pissed anymore for health reasons but this set my blood aboiling.
These idiot socialst scumbag cretins in L&I rip a family's life to shreds so that they "can level the playing field"?
What purpose does government serve? Do we need these laws or the people that enforce them? Is this what a free society is?
One small sample of govevil.....(Though read the rset of the site too)
***** While battling this child labor issue and numerous other charges, L&I assessed me $107,000. on an audit, though I had honestly reported and paid the premiums. An L&I report read, Why is the department pushing this audit issue? By using his children instead of hiring more workers and by not paying workers comp on his kids or on his other workers, [note, I had paid $7,000. in premiums for that audit period, but I had not paid on my boys, since they were not employees.] by cutting these and other corners, Mr. Doty has been able to bid so low on jobs that other businesses couldnt compete. Its part of L&Is effort to level the playing field, which helps keeps rates down. Ive made many requests for public disclosure, but 20 months later, they still deny me the requested files concerning the audit, though law requires the disclosure.
We had just moved and set-up13 homes on our 19-lot development and had sales pending on 12 of them, but when I filed the Request for Reconsideration, they placed the case in Abeyance and liened my properties even though the $107 K Notice of Assessment clearly says that they would not lien if I filed the appeal. With no hearings, they seized over $100 K. in cash bonds, my bank account, the properties, a contract, and equipment. Our home, a six-plex, and a spec-house had been mortgaged to finance the development. So when L&I refused to release a single property for me to sale, the project was financially shipwrecked, and within a year I have lost not only the development, but my 2 homes and six-plex as well. We lost our track-hoe, back-hoe, service truck and dump trucks. L&I even took title to our family van. With the liens, I wasnt bondable, which completely put me out of business! My losses due to the liens exceed a million dollars, not to mention lost employment for the two years Ive been to battle. They claimed I was guilty of felony fraud, and for 16 months they have identified me as a repeat offender on their website. On 1-14-04 they Affirmed the 107K audit in their reconsideration, claiming a formal hearing was not required; writing because no additional documentation was provided by Mr. Doty on which an adjustment to the audit could be based, I determined to affirm the audit assessment. Yet they were denying me the records concerning how the assessment was made. *****************
