Re "Newsom debe disculparse por las fallas del EDD”; Comentario, Dan Walters, 9 de junio de 2021

While I agree totally that Gov. Gavin Newsom should step up and take responsibility for the failings of the Employment Development Department, it must be added that the EDD was a terribly run organization long before Newsom came on the scene. Casting around for a worse-run state agency, the secretary of state’s office comes to mind, but even it may not be as bad.
