NOTE: From 1992 through 2000 many Government pensions funds generated the equivalent of almost 1/2 of the revenue needed to satisfy (all) operating budgets for those local governments.

If TRF investment fund(s) had been established  taxation could then be eliminated, and government's motive from that point forward would be to make sure the population was prosperous as possible so that returns on the TRFs would be as big as possible. Win - Win! 

I hope that a big light just went off in your mind?

100% of all "Budgets" can be satisfied using a TRF. Ready to make it happen?

The choice is yours; choose wisely and with applied force to make your choice happen.

NOTE: Government administration has already shown the TRF will work based on their own 65-year exemplary record of Government pension fund management! Government has not missed a beat in over 65 years when Government retirement fund interests were at stake!

The same results can now be done with the creation of the TRF to phase out ALL taxation, and done in the blink of the eye as far as time goes! When property tax is eliminated you will no longer be in effect a renter, you will now be a true owner of your land!

JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Notes      
1

The explanation of The Treasurer Custodial Securities Fund is: consists of securities held by the State Treasurer for various State agencies as required by statute." This is huge amount of money used for the stated purpose. However, some of this fund does account for deposits of insurance companies, banks, etc. But without a break down of this fund we believe that some of the money would be surpluses. We have included the entire amount in this analysis.

   
2

Although the State usually states that the State Compensation Fund is a separate entity, the CAFR states: "The State is required by statute to review and approve the operating and capital outlay budget of the Fund."

    
3

In most other State CAFRs these funds are considered Components Units and financial data is provided.

    

Note: For those familiar with governmental accounting, for surpluses Gerald Klatt basically used GFOA Balance Sheet Account Classification Codes 101, 102, 103, 151, 153, and 170.

 
 
 
For 2003 Arizona County and City CAFR reviews and State CAFR reviews:

The following link will bring you to the archives of Gerald Klatt's site updated by him two days before his death: CAFRMan.com

Mr. Klatt died on his birthday, July 11th 2004. I found out about his death when Gerald's son from a previous marrage in 2006 could not find his father. I then searched the SS death records and discovered he died on 07/11/04 and then informned his son of his fathers death. The circumstances of Gerald Klatt's death are UNKNOWN. The son he was living with Skip Klatt who was an attorney, what happened to him is also UNKNOWN. No other party from government, organized education, or any political party has openly made this information available to you out of self interest or fear of reprisal and DUE TO THE MONEY INVOLVED! Was Gerald Klatt murdered? UNKNOWN

Please Copy from the archives Mr. Klatt's CAFR reviews for your state and distribute to all responsible parties within your state. Use his format to conduct your own CAFR reviews for 2005, and 2006. Do a Google search for CAFR "and" your local City, County, School District, State University, State Retirement Fund, etc., download their CAFR reports and do reviews for yourself. Mr. Klatt can no longer do it for you and it appears no one else from within government will do it for you either. They are much to busy spending and taking your money. Also to include you in the "loop" it appears to be a violation of their exclusive club rules... 

STATE CAFR Reviews - If all local governments CAFR reviews from "within the state" were included in with the state reviews, potential surpluses would be much greater! Three to four times greater!
