No technocrat should ever be allowed to set public policy.
They are too heavily, even solely, biased toward one aspect of the problem and not being elected are not accountable to the public at large.
Its OK for an elected official to get their imput, but the elected official should set the policy and it should be based on input from all the various interest groups.

I agree...
I see Director Ferrer on my local TV news very frequently...
I have a feeling that Los Angeles County Supervisors are happy to do whatever Director tells them to do...
Mainstream media, in Los Angeles area, thinks that Director is great...But, I do not have a positive opinion of her...
She appears every day at the podium blandly reciting her latest mandates and orders, which are obeyed without question. Three more months of economic destruction and ruin, at her command.
