Where DOGE Is Spot On

Early in my tenure in the Schwarzenegger Administration I learned about a 60+ person group inside a Cabinet agency that was responsible for handing out program grants. After a review, I concluded that the group’s work could be done by 10 people.

Making California Competent Again

All too often, political donors enable poor governance by not engaging in due diligence. Eg, in 2022 an entertainment industry executive spent $1.85 million to help Karen Bass defeat Rick Caruso in the contest for mayor of Los Angeles. Do you think he exercised due diligence before making that choice? That doesn’t seem likely to me.
