Sacramento -- A state investigator who wrote a report condemning the way Folsom State Prison officials handled a riot in 2002 has been fired by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger days before the deputy was to testify at state Senate hearings on California

“The people elected a new governor,” said Vince Sollitto. “Surely, Sen. Speier wouldn’t deny Gov. Schwarzenegger’s ability to replace Gov. Davis’ staff with his own preferences.”

Sure they would!

On Wednesday, the hearings will conclude with discussion about how the department can be fixed.

From my perspective the hearings should conclude with a discussion of why Sen. Jackie Speier and Sen. Gloria Romero should be voted out of office as soon as the California Constitution permits.
