It might be fashionable to critize our government and ask for 50 percent pay cuts or resignations, but it isn't very helpful. While it may not be perfect, our system of government works and there is a reason why it does. I don't know District Attorney Ed Jagels personally, but I do know that when he and his team make assertions they have a burden of proof. Well, just look at the Kern County Fairgrounds. It's time for them to move to the outskirts anyway.
Kern County owns the land and the fair people just rent it.
Maybe the county could make more money by evicting the fair and selling the land to the big developers. Just a thought. I, too, am a conservative Republican. But politics must be set aside while the state's energy posture is being developed. When I read Florez's original proposal several weeks ago in The Californian , it impressed me as being the only truly viable plan being presented.
