The sad thing here is even if she did the right thing the outcome of her protest is California gets less dollars from the federal infrastructure bill due to her trying to slow the building down, because the infrastructure bill dollars get used up by states that can implement public works projects faster. Her protest doesn’t lead to less climate change, because we all breathe the same air. Her protest only leads to California having worse off roads compared to neighboring states which will utilize the funds until they are gone.

Is a deputy director really an exec? My understanding is that typically VP and up is considered an exec. And a director would be responsible for decisionmaking in a large scale; while a deputy director would focus on execution of the vision of the director.

Is this a case of Pournelle&#x27;s Iron Law at play?

StreetsBlog has a better article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cal.streetsblog.org&#x2F;2023&#x2F;09&#x2F;19&#x2F;caltrans-shakeup-is-a-bad-sign" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cal.streetsblog.org&#x2F;2023&#x2F;09&#x2F;19&#x2F;caltrans-shakeup-is-a...</a><p>It sounds like she was caught in the crossfire between Friedman and CalTrans. If it&#x27;s like her fight against CA HSR, Friedman might just want the funds to go to Metrolink improvements in Burbank than any alternatives for Davis and Sacramento: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cal.streetsblog.org&#x2F;2022&#x2F;05&#x2F;05&#x2F;letter-to-speaker-rendon-stop-blocking-bullet-train" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cal.streetsblog.org&#x2F;2022&#x2F;05&#x2F;05&#x2F;letter-to-speaker-ren...</a>

So California can build things after all: roads.<p>Imagine if it’d been someone opposing a rail line or an affordable housing development who got demoted. That’d be progress.

&gt;She said she told him she was thinking of filing a whistleblower complaint with the state auditor. A complaint could trigger an investigation.<p>Mistake number one. You either file a complaint or you don&#x27;t. You do NOT warn them.

There is absolutely no future for privately own cars in the United States and the world. It&#x27;s over, accept it, and cars are gone.

&gt; Her attorney called her demotion an attempt to “chill whistleblowing content.”<p>Why does the article focus on her gender so much? The quote about speaking up in meetings with men seems misplaced if the allegation is that she was demoted for threatening to be a whistleblower, and not for gender-based discrimination. If she&#x27;d been speaking up at meetings for years and only got demoted after threatening to trigger an investigation, it feels odd to introduce this angle to a narrative where it doesn&#x27;t fit. Not saying it isn&#x27;t true, but that I cannot see how that thread connects to the larger story.

Nice. What voters actually want are executives that pay lip service to climate goals and all this mumbo-jumbo bullshit about public transport, but in reality, no one wants to ride the fucking bus. We want roads, more roads, bigger roads, better roads. Sounds like she didn&#x27;t get the message.<p>&quot;There’s a culture of wanting to build more, and get it done quickly, despite the policy direction that sort of forces us to take a deeper look at the public benefits of those projects,” she said in an interview.&quot;<p>Sounds like Caltrans is one the few agencies that is actually still able to get fucking shit done, as opposed to endlessly wringing their hands about social justice and burning taxpayer dollars to do it, while making no appreciable progress on social justice whatsoever and funneling money to their scumsucking friends in nonprofits who know the right words to say to get in on the scam too.
