SACRAMENTO (AP) - Patricia Clarey, who resigned as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's chief of staff last month, was appointed Thursday to the State Personnel Board.
Clarey, who served former Gov. Pete Wilson and worked in President Reagan's administration, was Schwarzenegger's chief of staff since he took office in 2003. She was replaced with Susan Kennedy, a Democratic activist whose appointment sparked an angry backlash from some Republicans.
The personnel board arbitrates disputes between state workers and managers. It also is charged with ensuring that the state's employment system is free from political patronage pressures.
Clarey's appointment is subject to confirmation by the state Senate. The five-member board usually meets twice a month, and its members are paid $36,251 annually.
Arnie = RINO. The alternative would have been much worse -- the alternatives in government nowadays really STINK!
A formality. The senate leadership will approve the appointment and double the salary. A small price to pay. Kennedy's appointment was priceless.
CA has countless "do nothing" boards and commissions for political castoffs and has beens... these boards meet once or twice a year, but the members are paid 100 grand a year.
Don't be sure.. as much as many Republicans think Arnie is a traitor RINO for appointing her, just as many Dems think she is a traitor DINO for ACCEPTING the position.

We can thank Gray-out Davis for alot of that -- he was quite the spender of our money (understatement) when it came to cronies and favors...he did alot of this stuff and it is still being uncovered. We can only blame the stupid, complacent voters for doing this to our state. Not at all the California I knew 30 years ago.
I haven't seen that sentiment expressed by any of the CADEM leadership either publicly or on their boards.
And the revolving door goes 'round and 'round...
These were the BLEEPIN BOXES Arnoid boasted he was gonna blow up and terminate!!! Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla (Pure unadulterated bool chit, mon!)
The voters didn't create these stupid boards and commissions... Governators and Legislators did!!!
Even if the voters don't know any better, the Governators and Legislators sure do!!!
Stop blaming the people of CA! They vote these dumbasses into office thinking the problems are gonna git fixed and then they don't!!! Time after time after time... It's NOT THE PEOPL'S FAULT!!!

Uh, who votes in legislators? Who makes the decision WHO to vote for? And WHO casts the ballots? Not the people, right?
The covetous whim of a distracted electorate.
The initiative process and now the Governorship has been hijacked by political consultants, celebrities and other bald faced liars. Yet you blame the people for what the paid professional liars and deceivers (bad actors) mis-lead them into... SAD!!!
The users get used. That's how it works.
By their own desires are they ensnared.
Merry Christmas to you and your household, Mr. Carry_Okie, sir!!!
Too charitable of you. Socialism is the violation of God's Tenth Commandment at work.
Merry Christmas to you and your household, Mr. Carry_Okie, sir!!!
To you as well. We're learning about Chanukah as well here, so it's a double party for us!
And at times... the violation of our Tenth Amendment as well!!! (as in where has all the Sovereignty gone... Long time passing...)
