He relied on them when he ran Microsoft Corporation and now as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, “Whether government money is spent wisely or not … that’s for you to decide,” Clippers owners and former tech-industry executive Steve Ballmer says about his new website USAFacts.org. he depends on numerical data to run the team and watch games from the stands. The scoreboard doesn’t just tell Ballmer who’s winning. it breaks down the action on the floor into a measure of team performance. In public life, Ballmer discovered it wasn’t that easy. Anyone who wanted to understand the government’s finances had to piece together local, state and federal data to get the big picture. Ballmer’s latest project is a website called USAFacts.org that gathers that information and explains with numbers the areas where government makes money, loses money, or breaks even. Ballmer wants the public to know upfront that USAFacts.org is nonpartisan and free to use. The billionaire owner and former chief executive at Microsoft financed it himself and hired a team of economists, researchers and writers who spent three years analyzing government data and looking for a clear meaning. For Ballmer, the project started with a conversation with his wife who wanted him to do more philanthropic work. Before he increased his charitable work, Ballmer needed to grasp the bigger picture of where the money could do the most See Ballmer’s, page 15 Letters Thank You to ESPD I wanted to thank the ESPD for solving a crime before my husband even knew it had been committed. His car was broken into and his wallet was stolen on Monday April 17, 2017. The criminals were in a car waiting at a light, when Officer Cory Mcenroe, who was behind them noticed a broken headlight. In addition, the passenger kept turning around. He pulled them over and was informed the car was stolen. In addition, my husband’s wallet was discovered. Thank you Officer Mcenroe for catching the men who stole not only a wallet, but someone’s car. – Andrea Yob
