Tx for explaining what I suspected….these people have never met a sacramento pol or their lobbyist handlers or they’d have an appreciation of the silliness if the best practices model.

And not only do you not laugh him out of town, you give him a place of “honor” on your blog. That says a lot about CalWatchdog’s legitimacy.

However, increasingly, government functions are given over to special districts and “non-profit” organizations whose agendas, policies, finances, and personnel practices are well hidden. From the outside looking in, it sometimes seems that government hates you or fears you, or both…mostly because voters have the abilty to upset their carefully tended apple carts. So, they try to remove as much as possible from voter choice.

They have no idea what it means, have yet to practice it themselves, and use it as a way to prove to idiots they can talk business talk.

Actually, the term is outdated and only used by those hoping to protect some market edge, or minor monopoly or sinecure based on old tech as a way to elbow out innovation and protect turf by billing hours for service and kludgy upgrades instead of open standards based tech that works

The State of California needs to be split into North & South as what is important to the South is not important to the North & vice versa. Then each state can deal with the ever greedy/bloated public unions that screw taxpayers.
