A Million here, a Million there, soon you're talking real money. But they spend our money like it's someone else's! Personally, I'm tired of the overpaid, self-serving bureaucrats that infest California government at all levels today. "School Administrators" are among the worst. They are truly, America's highest paid migrant workers. They take a position, complete with employment contract, fail at the job for which they were hired, get fired, and head on to their "next engagement" with a hansom severance package in their hip pocket courtesy of the taxpayers. Danville has had its share of doozies, town managers too, all of whom left with a lot of our money. But I guess the maxim that "you get what you vote for" puts the onus on us for not doing a better job of "vetting" the people we elect. The problem is that bureaucrats are very good at obfuscating who they really are and what they really intend to do.
