State Exam in California

I recently took an promotional ''IT'' exam with the state of california. I already work for the state as a Mechical Technical Occupation Trainee but they do not consider it a ''state'' job. I applied for the test which I received a letter stating that I was ineligible. I called the exam unit and found that my app was flag to be re-reviewed. Once the exam unit re-reviewed my application they stated that I was eligible and sent my the test. I ranked 1. Now I have a job offer and personnel is stating that I shouldn't have been eligible. I lost the opportunity to take another test because I thought I was already on a list. The are taking away my inelibility for this promotional exam and nowI'm about to lose the offer for my position. I would like to hold them responsible for there answers. Once a decision has been made then it should stick and not cost people their jobs and livelyhood.

reasonable suspicion drug testing

My boyfriend refused a drug test because he feels harassed by his supervisors. A supervisor claimed he should have to take a drug test because he was in the vacinity of a bathroom that smelled like marijuana. Many employees have access to this bathroom and he was not seen coming in or out. The supervisor also never stated he smelled it on his person. He never thought he would be fired, that is why he refused. The union stood by and did nothing when he was fired. What rights were violated when the supervisor claimed he was smoking pot, yet has no evidence to prove otherwise. Possible is not probable in our opinion. We reside in Iowa, which laws state reasonable suspicion to be things such as visual impairment, seeing consumption, or causing an accident, etc. This supervisor did not get a second supervisor to observe the smell and made the comment that if he knew he was my father's (also another supervisor's son in law) he would not have done anything. We need all the help we can get since the union sat back and did nothing to defend him when he should not have been put in the position of taking a drug test to begin with.

mail

is ti a crime for your employer open your mail make copies of it then place it in a company mail before you actually receive it?

If I receive a car as a gift and thus not pay sales tax,

What are the chances that the state will inquire or investigate

the fact that it may not have been a gift but a purchase

and wants to charge sales tax? I.e., I am actually purchasing the car.

In this economy, every penny counts. So I'm trying to avoid

sales tax if I can. Am I taking a chance on serious repercussions?

Can the state go after me for fraud? Tax evasion?

Are there penalties and interest? Or would you recommend simply

Listing the purchase price very low to keep my taxes low?

I also may be listing a lienholder on the title, so I would

Need to show an actual purchas price on that case.

Thanks.
