The Union-Trib’s top-of-the-page story this morning is Cal Fire drawing strong criticism over policies.
Uhhh, you think? In case no one notices, almost all of the criticisms in this go-round were brought up four years ago in several hearings, with the commitment that many of the problems would be addressed.
Deja vu all over again. Four years from now will we be saying that "almost all of the criticisms were brought up four years ago in several hearings, with the commitment that many of the problems would be addressed"? Will we? Does someone have an answer to the question? Governor Schwarzenegger? Cal Fire Chief Ruben Grijalva?
The latter won’t have any answer to anything other than to defend the bureaucracy. What Cal Fire needs is a non-bureaucrat at the top to answer the question. How about it Governor?
