					<description><![CDATA[Well done Kathy. It appears to me; a South African reader that every US Democrat constituency has incompetent officials with fingers in the till or at least an irregular agenda. Why is it that the incompetent always seem to make it to top state jobs? Isn&#039;t there a vetting process when recruiting?

Is there there any way Californians would consider bringing retired police and military personnel to police the park? A good conservation strategist could write the battle plan and enforcement could be up to these men and women - many would do this for free. I do it just to keep fit. A ten mile foot patrol per day, the&#039;s way to do it.

I know a dozen vets that are nuts about the environment, who  would leap at the opportunity to serve wildlife. Most of we late fifties to sixty-plus year old will out-run and out-march the average American couch potato by about twenty miles per day - at a slowwwww march.

One last question, Dianne Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, could bag $1 billion in commissions for his company from a government plan to sell 56 US Postal Service buildings. How do you Americans allow blatant corruption like this?  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/01/17/sen-feinsteins-husbands-company-to-bag-1-billion-for-government-deal/]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[State Parks used to promote to director from withing State Parks.  The Parks &quot;family&quot; actually really cared about eachother and thier mission but since term limits was passed Directorships of almost all Agencies and Departments goes to termed out political hacks.  Colmans husbancd (different last name) used be the head of CalEPA but when Governorship changed he was replaced.  It is all an in-breeding kind of thing with the politicans moving from post to post.  everyone complains about the state retirement on &quot;highest year salary&#039; but that was once highest of your last three years.  Enter term limits and with politicians moving from place to place they needed to protect thier HIGHEST paid position for retirement base.  State legislators did not used to be part of CalPers either but i once read where they passed a loaw that allowed them to become part of CalPers -since it was ocne doing so well- and THAT is also whent he one year vs three years came to pass = term limits too.  Trace so much of this back to the politicians and take it a little easy on the grunts of state service; not all are lazy.  Also the AVERAGE retirement for state wervice is $28,000 - $36,000 per year.  Not bad but certainly NOT what is always talked about in the Bee.]]></description>
