Friday’s ruling likely galvanizes John Chiang’s political operation but it unfortunately continues to highlight the fact that we wouldn’t be in this situation had John Chiang used the millions taxpayers gave him to upgrade his payroll system over four years ago.    

 

According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, as of last year Chiang had spent over $70 million dollars “with few tangible deliverables to show.”  Instead of legal challenges to mask over his failure to get the job done, Chiang owes the taxpayers an explanation and show he’s accountable for the millions he’s spent with nothing to show.
