Transportation Workers Caught Watching World Cup Games on Taxpayer Dime

CBS2 Investigation: Transportation Workers Watch World Cup Games On Taxpayer Dime (CBS Los Angeles)

It looks like a scene from a local sports bar: groups of men watching the World Cup on TV, cheering with every play on the big screen.

But CBS2 investigative reporter David Goldstein reports undercover cameras found some of these men could be scoring your taxpayer dollars during working hours, sometimes for hours at a time, in the restaurant at Caltrans headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.

The restaurant is privately owned, catering not only to Caltrans employees  but also to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, which is in the building at 100 South Main St. It is also open to the public.
