text: The underlying problem is the State places incompetent people in high places. Why? Because that's how they max out their high three. These are often nice people with solid backgrounds but for things other than the job they were appointed to. I know of several people who were in this position. The primary goal of government employees is to finish with a comfortable retirement and the system is set up to do that. Doesn't matter that it often leads to bad results that the taxpayers end up paying for. Remember, the goal is retirement.
