Update on FTB’s $10 Million “Education and Outreach” Program For Low Income People

October 2025 Update: FTB was supposed to respond to this Public Comment by October 7. FTB has yet to respond. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that once the NGOs sign up the migrants for health care benefits, the migrants are sent a voter registration card.

I’ve previously posted about a program that I find concerning. The quick summary is that the State of California’s legislature passed a law requiring that the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) (California’s income tax agency) give Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) (another term for charities) $10 million dollars per year to notify low-income people that they may qualify for a cash refund if they file a tax return. More details are in the previous post.

At the September 2025 FTB Board Meeting, I wanted to make a 5.5 minute speech where I called out a portion of the corruption that I’ve uncovered in connection to this program. I also connected some dots to indicate this program has nefarious purposes. This was the 5.5-minute speech that I wanted to make:

However, I was limited to 3-minutes, so I had to essentially cut the speech in half. I kept the corruption part, but wasn’t able to properly connect the dots. This was the speech that I actually made at the meeting.

At the September 2025 FTB Meeting, I Called Out FTB’s Culture of Corruption

Here is the speech that I made at the meeting.

Below is the text.

My name is Christine Grab. I would like to address FTB’s staffing problems. 

I sued FTB in San Diego Superior Court. I believe that in that case, Keith Swank committed Five Counts of Perjury, Five Counts of Collusion to Cover Up Racketeering, Five Counts of Collusion to Cover Up Embezzlement and Fifteen Counts of Obstruction of Justice.

Table of Contents of My FTB Fight

I know that my website can be difficult to navigate, so here is a “FTB Table of Contents”: a list of what I have done with links to more information on each item. I am still working on adding links, so if you need more information ASAP on a particular topic, post a comment and I will make digging that particular info up a priority.

The issue that started it all:

Between the years 2008 and 2016, the Franchise Tax Board, California’s Income Tax Agency, “lost” 16 of the 20 payments that my husband and I had made. When I say “lost,” I mean that they cashed our checks right away, but didn’t apply the money to our account. Instead of locating the “lost fund,” FTB aggressively harassed me to pay the “outstanding balance” and imposed penalties for “paying late.” Here is the list of payments.

The Bona Fide Criminal Schemes I’ve Uncovered:

The 8 schemes to overcharge taxpayers that were documented via court records.

  • The Legal Process (Statutory Law)

2018 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Requests

As I was updating my latest posts with links to older posts, I realized I had never posted about the 2018 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting. Here is the text of the speech that I made and this is the video:

Due to the time limitations on the speech, the written requests are much more detailed than the oral requests. Here are written requests 1 – 6 and here are 7 – 8. This addendum contains a letter signed by Christopher Calhoun in which I believe he committed fraud and violated my taxpayer rights. This second addendum contains an email chain between myself and Susan Maples in which I believe she committed fraud and violated my taxpayer rights.

Here is FTB’s response. I believe that Susan Maples also committed multiple counts of fraud in this response.

Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.
