What are the penalties for perjury?

Question

Basic situation - involving state employment issue - employer COMPLETELY lied under oath in a recorded phone hearing. Am talking obvious provable lies - that I moved from CA with two horses (fact I moved from IL with NO horses) and misrepresented/lied about qualifications (completely untrue and HE CHECKED REFERENCES on hiring). Also said horses were not neglected despite one starving to death and having over 20 with ribs, hipbones showing, an eye injury he wouldn't spend $15 for something to keep the flies out of etc. (photograph evidence available as proof). 
These are serious things that slander my reputation and were stated and he repeated to the state official several times he would stand by it and not amend it. They are lies that can be proven...but how/where to take it?

Lie under oath...go to jail!  Don't do it.  Slander may be difficult to prove and you must be able to show it resulted in your disability to earn income, destroyed your credibility, etc.

perjury is in most cases a felony, bad news but you will have to get the DA to take an interest first which may be hard. other course of action is a civil slander case. sue the ba*tard and his boss for big money.
