John Chiang is California's independent watchdog safeguarding our tax dollars. As State Controller, John Chiang fights to make California's budget more transparent and accountable. He vigorously opposes the budget gimmicks and accounting tricks pulled by Sacramento politicians. John Chiang fights to protect local governments and vital public services, including law enforcement and education, from drastic cuts caused by the inability of the Governor and Legislature to pass an on-time budget. Neutral fiscal experts say his professional cash management has kept the State's credit rating from plunging into junk status, saving taxpayers millions of dollars. John Chiang uses his independent auditing powers to crack down on wasteful government spending. He already has identified over $2 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse—far more than any previous Controller. John Chiang fights to end pension fund abuses, sponsoring legislation to prohibit pension spiking and double-dipping and to eliminate conflicts of interest in the pension boards charged with investing public dollars. John Chiang has reformed the State's Unclaimed Property law, returning more than $1 billion to Californians owed by insurance and mortgage companies, utilities and banks. Especially important during these tough economic times, John Chiang provides free tax assistance to seniors and working families, saving them over $3 million in tax refunds and credits. He hosts free seminars to help small businesses and non-profit organizations navigate complex tax laws and regulations.
