Cites Kenny Rogers Tune Legal Pad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Ronald George's time as California's long-serving chief justice officially expires at the close of Jan. 2. Foster, a death penalty case that was affirmed 7-0. "As I got it ready I said 'this is the last one of these I'll have to do."
He added that "working on the capital cases was definitely not high on the list of things I liked particularly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
Ruminating on his time as chief justice, George said he won't miss some of his Sacramento duties.
"Making the rounds of the capitol and having maybe a dozen one-on-one individual meetings with legislators and trying to convince them that we're not -- as I sometimes have to bluntly put it -- like the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Department of Fish and Game or the Board of Cosmetology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we are a separate and equal branch of government," George said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "with the turnover with term limits, giving a bit of a civics lesson again … that's been a very arduous and sometimes frustrating experience."
George was asked about the politicization of judicial elections and the November ouster of three Iowa Supreme Court justices who backed gay marriage. One possible solution,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said, would be longer single terms, "say 15 years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], period. That's it."
George said that once the court budget issues were resolved this summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he figured it was the perfect time to retire. He said his post-retirement plans consisted of having no plans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though he also suggested that once out of office he may write about his views on certain topics, including, perhaps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his thoughts on the death penalty. he told reporters he isn saddened by the prospect of leaving his corner office in the Earl Warren building. His wife,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said, had told him his shoulders seemed to lift a little bit more as his term draws to a close. He then invoked the classic Kenny Rogers tune: "You got to know when to hold 'em,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away."
While Mr,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. George accomplishments are worthy of taking note of George legacy is severely tarnished by decisions made as the top administrator of the branch.
Let me provide the reader a list of other George accomplishments.
1. A 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].3 billion dollar computer fiasco called CCMS where a catch-all statewide computer program is being developed for the courts by the same legends of software development that brought LAUSD payroll system to its knees and Marin County accounting system to its knees and is embroiled in similar litigation with other states nationwide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
2. An unlicensed contractor fiasco where a company that built the 35W bridge in Minnesota (the one that crashed into the river) and did a peachy lousy job on a bridge in Marin (where they were sued and lost) was maintaining courthouses as a joint venture with another unlicensed contractor since 2006,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet is currently only filing suit against one entity and only for a fraction of what was paid them - and disclaiming the existence of the other entities participation in this joint venture so they can sue them for substantially less and someone else can keep their kickbacks.
3. 42 of some of the worlds most expensive public buildings being built with 5 billion dollars of yet to be sold bond money, while courthouses across the state are being shut down,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], personnel laid off and lines that are beginning to stretch around the block. Incidentally, these courthouses cost 2 to 3 times what it costs the federal government to build a similar courthouse.
4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The failure of the George Administration to secure one dollar in federal stimulus funds to go towards any one of those 42 new courthouses OR CCMS because transparency and accountability are for the other two branches of government - not the judicial branch.
5. The recent termination of 5 whistleblowers in his administrative offices and the constructive terminations of several more who sought to expose the fraud, waste and abuse and actually "serve the courts for the benefit of all californians"
6. The issuance of contract extensions to previously unlicensed and therefore ineligible contractors who are and have been grossly overcharging the state under lucrative DOD style, sole-source cost plus contracting.
7. The recent issuance of an RFP custom written so that only the previously unlicensed contractor qualifies due to being the only entity with court experience. A 10 year, sole source, cost-plus contract.
But lets not lose focus of the big picture. He helped unify a branch of government. Unfortunately,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he unified it all under his absolute command as any despot would. While most of his decisions from the bench have been respectable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], let not forget that he refused to hear Sturgeon vs. LA County and then spun around in his administrative role and ordered his administrative office to lobby the legislature for SBx211,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], passed in the dead of night without so much as a public hearing, making extrajudicial payments retroactively legal for him and the six people that sat on the California Supreme Court and also took those payments.
