The fascinating thing about this is this is a DEMOCRAT who chaired the investigation, and who is lambasting the Governor and his staff. Methinks Davis is dead meat against Simon in the fall.

My thoughts too. Hard to figure out why. Florez could easily issue the standard "mistakes were made, are being fixed" statement but didn't. I would love to know the real reason for the ripping...

As I read the article, I kept waiting to see any comments by Flores about Gray Davis, but the worst charge was only about Davis' decision to fire four people after the scandal broke the news.

The author or Flores was careful always to blame other people instead of Davis. Otherwise, it's nice that Flores is saying some truths, but I doubt that anything will be done to change the practices of the vending-machine governor.
