The Davis administration isn't vindictive. Or lying about state hiring freezes. Oh no no no, not them.

[Toidylop]

By June, seven months after the job freeze went into effect, some 22,000 new jobs had been filled -- just slightly below last year's unfrozen pace.

Put it all together and -- freeze or no freeze -- you have a state payroll still growing to record levels.

Ah... Now you know how squat Davis building up his support base from..

Anyone who has dealt with freedom of speech issues online knows exactly the best course of action to take in situations like this. It's no secret.

So what is the best course?

Nothing.

The 10,000-odd readers of this publication are insignificant in electoral terms. The story, when read today, will be forgotten tomorrow, shoved aside in the context of state job listings and the like. People who read this publication are probably looking for state jobs, and appreciate them being a growth industry!

So if you ignore this issue, nobody's going to pick it up and nothing will happen. You have to have a bit of self-confidence to pull it off, but if you do, nothing will happen.

Unfortunately, for Gray, he doesn't have the self-confidence. Or, considering other matters discussed here, perhaps I could say 'balls'?

Of course his actual, vindictive policy not only makes this a major news story, it also exposes his incompetence in handling a hiring freeze to the world.

Gray Davis is a fool - or he has fools for advisors.
