Latina Lesbian To Save California?
Brown Retains Arnold's Budget Director
American Patrol Report Comment -- December 9   
Ana Matosantos -- California's Budget Director
     In a bold move, California governor-elect Jerry Brown has decided to retain Arnold Schwarzenegger's Latina budget director to save the state from impending disaster. Ana Matosantos, 35, is a Democrat. She is also a lesbian with a partner. She "has what it takes" to navigate the state through its fiscal crisis, Brown said in announcing her appointment.
    Yesterday, Brown told a gathering of state legislators that the budget problems facing the state are worse than they thought only a week ago. Brown said that all the budgetary maneuvers in the past have made things worse. "That's why what we are looking at today is worse than it's ever been before," he said. "And our opportunities to fix it are very limited."
    Presumably, Matosantos helped engineer some of those shortsighted budget fixes.
    Some have said California is the next Greece.
    It is incredible that Jerry Brown would retain a failed governor's budget director who ran a failed budget process. Are her only redeeming qualities that she is Latina and a lesbian? Is this California's final, fatal act of Political Correctness?
