Report Government Inefficiency, Waste and Abuse
Decisions made in San Joaquin County impact all of us. We have a responsibility to report government waste and abuse. Have you witnessed inefficiencies? Is your local school district wasting your tax dollars? Do you know an example of government fraud or abuse? If so, we want to know about it! We will investigate; you can remain anonymous.
California Public Records Act Request - It is designed to give the public access to information held by public agencies:
WELCOME
The San Joaquin Taxpayer's Association plays an important role in local government. We ask, "How are my tax dollars being spent and what do I get in return?"
The SJTA is non-partisan. We take an independent approach in providing accurate and unbiased information to enable you to make informed decisions.
In the process of shaping public policy, there are crucial times when citizens must be heard. The SJTA is a counter-balance to those vying for political advantage.
