My state-of-residence (California) got a C-, tied for worst in the nation!
YEE-HAW!!!
More a-that good ol’ Californazi governmental inefficiency!
It gets even better when you break it down by the categories that are averaged to get the overall figure:
- California’s ability to manage it’s money? A BIG, FAT D! (Shoulda been a F!)
- California’s ability to manage its state employees? C-.
- California’s infrastructure? C. (Yeah, okay. CalTrans does keep the roads in good order compared to other states. Hear me, Pennsylvania? Yeah, New Jersey, I see you hanging your head in shame.)
- California’s use of information? C. (They have poor strategic planning, but what info there is can be easily downloaded by a citizen from the Internet.)
It all adds up to a C-, and that’s being generous to my mind.
Take that, California!
These grades, incidentally, are produced by some folks who call themselves the Government Performance Project. I don’t know much about them, but as long as they’re pointing out the problems with California’s state government, they gotta be on the side of the angels.
