I said it before, government is incompetent, corrupt, but usually both.
California rivals Illinois and New for the most incompetence and corruption.
"The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation placed patients at risk by not relieving a psychiatrist of his duty to treat patients until four months after it learned of allegations of his incompetence. In addition, Corrections took 35 months to complete its investigation. “By not promptly conducting an investigation, Corrections wasted at least $366,656 in state funds by continuing to pay the psychiatrist more than $600,000 in salary throughout the investigation,” says the report.
The doctor got two merit-based salary increases during this time, the state auditor’s report says, as well as an additional $29,149 in accrued leave that Corrections paid to him upon his termination.
Ms. Howle’s report, which deals with eight particularly significant investigations, also notes the California Conservation Corps evaded competitive bidding requirements to make purchases costing $64,666 from a single vendor, and failing to obtain from the same vendor the required price quotes for later purchases totaling $19,812."
No need for Jerry Brown tax increases, end the corrupt and incompetence.
