The state auditor released its report today on the
infamous state park scandal regarding the 54M dollar slush fund. After doing an initial quick review of the
60 page report, HQ believes it shows that agenda-driven “sloppy accounting” had
become institutionalized at State Parks and has existed for several decades and
through many administrations.

HQ believes that an ‘accounting subculture’ comprised of
non-appointed 2nd and 3rd tier bureaucrats
had devised this scheme to create an internal slush fund
for reasons not clearly identified in the 60-page report.
OHV recreationists owe a great deal of thanks for the
work that OHV lobbyist Terry McHale did last year along with a number of OHV
representatives. The OHV program in 2013
is in much better shape because of those efforts.

The only good news in this story is that Governor Brown
has appointed General Anthony Jackson to bring accountability and transparency
to Parks.

HQ believes that the final chapter on this issue has yet
to be written. Also, we want to thank
all of you who sent in letters and made phone calls last year to the Governor’s
Office – it did make a difference!
See you on the trail.
