It's not "seen" as retaliation, it absolutely is retaliation. This is explicit. Trying to separate this action from its entirely political motivations is worse then futile, its misleading. It only helps those who desperately want to pretend, for political reasons, that the governor and legislature aren't doing exactly what they say they are doing and exactly what they have been acting to do.
You know very well the DA pushed this on hard...in order to meet a campaign promise...he is leading the investigation. Again, entirely separate from an inspector going in and inspecting theme park rides...
So you're saying an elected official leaned on lower level employees to get a desired result? Fascinating. Sounds like you truly are attacking their character and honesty...harsh..
To whom does FDOT report? If they’re told to go inspect the monorail during the day are they going to decline? It’s not a conspiracy when the person in charge gave a speech about it last week.
If you want to generally think those state inspectors who work with theme parks are morally compromised, that is on you I guess....have at it.
State attorneys are not "most politicians". A majority of political positions in the country require age, citizenship, residency, and little else. Don't know what this post is for.
The monorails are inspected by Disney who puts enormous pressure on it's staff to keep the monorails running and open at all times for the cheapest cost possible. The incidents recorded on the monorail in recent years include, doors opening while the monorail is in operation operation, track misalignments that have resulted in slow downs, doors falling off at the station, and the one death of an operator due to collision were all a result of mismanaged safety protocol and a lack of maintenance. The monorail trains and track were due for replacement or heavy overhauls since 2008. These major repairs were translated into minor cosmetic refreshes to the current 1989 mark VI model trains and patched rail repair jobs that result in lower operational speeds. The California state government had to step in to get Disneyland to conduct major track repair work for their monorail system. Inspectors need to be independent of their shareholders to ensure safe and reliable operation of mass transit systems. Just look at the structural changes made after the incident of the 737 max. In that incident Boeing was put in charge of their inspections and procedures which resulted in 2 air disasters.
If they have to run for office, they're a politician.
I didn't really claim otherwise, just that they have an additional requirement. School boards don't universally require their members to have education experience, for example.
