Slow Arm of the Law

Thanks for “3rd Man Accused in Insurance Dept. Scandal,” your April 3 update on former Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush. If he continues to get away from it all while living happily ever after in Hawaii, the people of California must admit that crime does pay in this state.

What he did is no better or worse than the off-balance-sheet debt scheme concocted by certain Enron executives and their cronies. What is wrong with both is that it takes much too long to prosecute the main characters. Greed is not good, and those who abuse their position and power must be brought to justice swiftly.
