Now public employees are mobsters. (What’s the matter, thugs wasn’t bad enough?) The constant name-calling and smearing of thousands of dedicated public servants is getting a bit old, don’t you think?

I also noticed that you failed to comment about my suggestion for more oversight of the private sector.

It’s almost like these public employees were some sort of underworld gang, mobsters maybe, and they know the only way to keep their racket going is to make any honest folks in their midst fear broken kneecaps if they rat them out.

Now all we need to do is expand CalWatchDog to look at things like huge unwarranted bonuses, insider trading, crooked contracts, dishonest bosses and managers, etc. in the private sector. That we we can keep the spotlight on abuses in the public and private sectors and make our whole state cleaner and more honest.

Ooops! I forgot that PRI and the OC Register believe that the private sector should be free of government interference. In other words, anything goes. It’s only in the public sector that they want to put the hammer down.
