When the money ran out did Der Pringle?
Thanks to Friend Tony Serra for providing a link to a Sac Bee story about Anaheim’s former Mayor-for-Hire Kurt Pringle quitting the California High Speed Rail Board.
Could it be true? Sure looks like it. According to the story he wants Governor Brown to be able to appoint someone who represents his point of view. I wonder what that point of view might be. Ethics? Brown, who as Attorney General took note of Pringle’s conflicts of interest over many years may have asked him to go.
*Don’t be picking on our Curt Pringle please! At least he answers e-mails! The reality is that Curt put his best foot forward and did what he could. Having that Republican logo behind his name might be an impediment to moving the future of HSR forward.
Downtown Jerry Brown seems to make good moves at good times. Whoever he might pick to replace or join with Curt will be just fine!
Good Lord, that’s ridiculous.
But I agree that Kurt will be fine. The nest is well-feathered.
A new spin on the old “spend time with my family” excuse, what a hack.
