Two good government stories

I am–with I believe ample justification–critical of many of the actions and activities of governments. But here are two small rays of sunshine.

“LA schools superintendent shakes up district[1]“.

Doing what he thinks is right has put him in some unusual positions, such as siding with plaintiffs who successfully sued the district over closely protected teachers’ union tenets – seniority-based layoff policies and leaving out student test scores in teacher performance: evaluations.

I do hope Superintendent Deasy remembers an important rule: “Don’t let the b***ards get you down.”

“Newer cars [in North Carolina] won’t need emissions inspections[2]“.

Now get rid of the freakin’ “safety” inspections.
