3/1     My sister works for the county and pays into CalPERS instead of
        Social Security. This year she got a second (private sector) job
        which paid more than her government job and paid into Social
        Security. Does she have to contribute to both retirement plans?
        That seems like a waste. I STFW and cannot find the answer.

        about until recently. It was dead simple, and had nothing to do
        with what I was studying-- if you ever buy houses in California,
        DON'T SELL THEM. Keep them around, because in time, property tax
        will be so low that it'll take an act of stupidity to sell them. As

Time correspondent Matthew Cooper said he told a grand jury last week tha t Rove told him the woman worked at the "agency," or CIA, on weapons of mass destruction issues, and ended the call by saying "I've already said too much." He said Rove did not disclose the woman's name, Valerie Plame, but told h im information would be declassified that would cast doubt on the credib ility of her husband, former diplomat Joseph Wilson, who had charged the Bush administration with exaggerating the threat of Iraqi weapons of ma ss destruction programs in making its case for war. "So did Rove leak Plame's name to me, or tell me she was covert? Was it through my conversation with Rove that I learned for the first time t hat Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and may have been responsible for se nding him? "When he said things would be declassified soon, was that itself impermis sible? He also wrote that he was not certain what Rove meant by commenting he ha d already said too much. Cooper testified on his conversations with Rove under court order before the grand jury to avoid going to jail, and had received a last-minute wa iver from Rove allowing him to break a confidentiality pledge. New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed for refusing to testify. A federal prosecutor is investigating whether any government officials br oke laws against exposing the identity of a covert CIA agent. Columnist Robert Novak first revealed Plame's identity in July 2003, citi ng two administration officials, shortly after Wilson published an opini on piece in the New York Times that accused the administration of twisti ng intelligence on Iraq. Wilson wrote that on a 2002 mission funded by the CIA he was unable to su bstantiate allegations that Iraq had tried to buy nuclear materials from Niger, as the White House asserted. Cooper also reported on Plame's identity, attributing the information to Novak's column and administration officials, in a piece on Time's Web si te shortly after Novak's column. Wilson says the Bush administration leaked his wife's identity in retalia tion for his article; Rove's lawyer said the aide had done nothing wrong and was not a target of the investigation. Other defenders have said Ro ve is the victim of a smear campaign. He said he asked Libby whether he had heard anything about Wilson's wif e sending her husband to Niger, and Libby replied, "Yeah, I've heard tha t too." Rove had used the same language in discussing the issue with Novak, accor ding to media reports. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and President George W Bush depart the White House in Washington for a day trip to North Car olina, in this file photo taken July 15, 2005. Rove was the first person to tell a Time magazine reporter that the wife of a prominent critic of the Bush administration's Iraq policy was a CIA agent, the reporter sai d in an article on Sunday.
