Perhaps instead of DOIT, it should have been named D'OH!

"This has been one of the best jobs I've ever had," said Julie Gallego, 26, an executive assistant who stood next to her empty desk and packed boxes on Wednesday. On Monday, she starts her new, better-paying job as a legislative coordinator for the California State Teachers' Retirement System.

So sad for Julie!! But look on the bright side. Soon she will be backing legislation to raise property taxes for the NEA rather than mismanaging tax payers funds.

Maybe it will start a trend, only a 100,000 or so more State agencies to go.

At first, I thought this was another laugh break like the "CEOnistas" thread.

Actually this is not good news.

Few if any of these rats will lose their jobs. They will go to better paying jobs, the records and other data proving the bribe with Whoreacle will disappear. (remember that big truckload seized by the Davis CHP, where is it?)

This is your typical rat justice cited from this article:

"This has been one of the best jobs I've ever had," said Julie Gallego, 26, an executive assistant who stood next to her empty desk and packed boxes on Wednesday. On Monday, she starts her new, better-paying job as a legislative coordinator for the California State Teachers' Retirement System.

Monday, Gallego, like the other rats in this gone department, will go to better paying jobs in the state. That is their bribe to keep their mouths shut.

Typical Rat justice for their criminals.
