Those Folks on Leave Could Use the Work

Re “State Agency Tries to Stop Condo Sales,” May 23:

The taxpayer might be better served if, rather than accepting a state grant of $300,000 to do the sleuthing, the Coastal Commission were assigned some of those on county administrative leave for that task. Always the excuse seems to be a lack of funds. Maybe it’s more often a lack of imagination, inventiveness and (perish the thought) cooperation in and between government agencies.
