CHP COMMANDER BAILS ON SHORT NOTICE AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS

By Bob Walsh


Senator introduces legislation addressing gendered references to CHP Commissioner


Amanda Ray, 56, is the first Black female Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol.  She came up thru the ranks and was appointed to the gig two years ago.  She announced today that she is leaving at the end of the year.  The retirement was unexpected.  

She has been with the CHP for 32 years and is at a position where she will receive her full pension.  

Her immediate predecessor was a Black man so Governor Newsom may be running out of qualified, not previously used identifiable minorities to appoint.  Life can be hard at the top.  Perhaps there is a closet transvestite sufficiently high up to get the gig.   

EDITOR'S NOTE: No experience aside, why not appoint Sam Brinton as CHP Commissioner?
 

Brinton had no experience for his Department of Energy position but did a good job, even personally removing luggage suspected of containing nuclear waste at two airports. And They/Them's appointment as CHP Commissioner would please California's Democrats and large LGBTQ community.

As a soon-to-be ex-felon he might be legally disqualified.

Amanda Ray did the smart thing. She completed 32 years and leveled out her retirement as Chief. Congratulations!
