Word on the street is that she has disappeared back into her cocoon since after the election instead of planning her transition. The Bosrd would have been very interested in what she had to say, but it apparently it was nothing.

Folks get out of law school, get a job in a rural office for lousy pay, stay a year or two, learn what they need to do, and move on to a better paying job elsewhere. What's unusual in Humboldt is that virtually every senior DDA present when PVG took office has left or been fired - and as far as I can tell they were pretty much all snapped up by other DAs. As far as the ratio of PDs to DDAs, the DA prosecutes every case, while the PD doesn't defend every case because there is a vibrant private defense bar in Humboldt. So the DA should have more DDAs then the PD has DPDs. If you have a concern, as a department head, about funding or staffing levels, the appropriate time to bring that up is during the budget negotiations process, not after the budget has been voted upon and is locked in place. What is not clear from the article is whether the DA's office has open positions, for which money has been allocated, which are unfilled because no one has applied; or, are all budgeted positions filled?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-23290730140908306962014-08-03T08:18:00.332-07:002014-08-03T08:18:00.332-07:00The T/S has for years ignored the elephant in the ...The T/S has for years ignored the elephant in the room, the staggering staff turnover under Gallegos. All the departed were easily located, and could have been interviewed- that was never ever done. There was, and is, a sizable body of professionals- ex dda's, current dda's, court staff, law enforcement, defense attorneys- who could have been approached by a professional reporter with integrity who could have gotten a reasonable sample to "tell it like it is" . Such a reporter could even have asked PVG why he could not hold on to people. But no. And now the final scene, with PVG stamping his little foot, throwing tantrums, and blaming everyone but himself for the mess he personally created, and the T/S just types it up and publishes it. Absurd, pathetic. PVG is the lamest duck ever. As someone once said, "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go." Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
